  • Hidden Figures: the American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black
    Hidden Figures: the American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helps Win the Space Race by Margot Lee Shetterly An account of the previously unheralded but pivotal contributions of NASA's African- American women mathematicians to America's space program describes how they were segregated from their white counterparts by Jim Crow laws in spite of their groundbreaking successes. Why you'll like it: Science writing, richly detailed, race relations, inspiring. About the Author: Margot Lee Shetterly was born in Hampton, Virginia in 1969. She is a graduate of the University of Virginia's McIntire School of Commerce. After college she worked in investment banking for several years. Her other career moves have included working in the media industry for the website Volume.com, publishing an English language magazine, Inside Mexico; marketing consultant in the Mexican tourism industry; and writing. Hidden Figures is her first book, a New York Times Bestseller and was optioned for a feature film. (Bowker Author Biography) Questions for discussion 1. Hidden Figures uncovers the story of the women whose work at NACA and NASA help shape and define U.S. space exploration. Why is their story significant to our culture, social and scientific history? 2. In what ways does the race for space parallel the civil rights movement? What kind of freedoms are being explored in each? 3. In what ways was Melvin Butler, the white personnel office at Langley, who was searching for qualified mathematicians and wound up hiring black women for jobs that historically had gone only to white men.

  • Read More About Sheryl Sandberg by Jessica Wang
    Jessica Wang on Sheryl Sandberg Sheryl Sandberg is currently the COO of Facebook, one of the first employees at Google, and was ranked in 2011 by Forbes as the 5th Most Powerful Woman in the World. Born in 1969, Sandberg grew up in North Miami Beach and attended Harvard where she majored in Economics. During her time at Harvard, she caught the attention of one of her professors, Larry Summers, who volunteered to serve as her thesis adviser. Sandberg graduated first in the economics department, and eventually went on to work for Summers at the World Bank. After two years there, she went to Harvard Business School, worked at McKinsey for a year, then went back to work as chief of staff for Summers, who was now Deputy Treasury Secretary under the Clinton Administration. In 2001, Sandberg joined Google after being convinced by Eric Schmidt to get on the “rocket ship”. While there, she took over AdWords and AdSense and made both products wildly profitable. She also oversaw AOL’s deal with Google in 2002 to make it AOL’s primary search engine. Eventually, Sandberg tried for the COO position at Google but couldn’t get it, and began talking to Mark Zuckerberg about Facebook. She joined Facebook as COO in 2008. One of the cornerstones of Sandberg’s life and advice to her mentees is Acting with Authenticity when it comes to choosing a profession – doing something you truly love. If this is not in place, then all domains of one’s life will suffer. Sandberg left her job at McKinsey, and then later at Google, when she felt that she was no longer passionate about her work or making an impact.

ABOUT THIS BOOK: Hidden Figures tells the stories of four African American women who blazed a trail in the fields of mathematics and engineering at NASA (originally known as NACA, National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics). During WWII NACA began hiring women to work as human computers. The women did the work of mathematicians but were hired as subprofessionals so that they could be paid less. Eventually NACA began to hire qualified black computers because the demand could not be met by white employees alone. The book focuses on the individual stories of each women and incorporates the history that coincides with the stories starting with WWII and aviation research and moving through the Cold War and the Space Race. There is particular focus on the Civil Rights Movement and school segregation.
