In this episode of "Untold: The History of Us," we celebrate the pioneering women of space history - the "Hidden Figures." These women, including Katherine Johnson, Mary Jackson, and Dorothy Vaughan, faced racism and sexism in a male-dominated field but persevered and made incredible contributions to history.
We dive into their inspiring stories, from Katherine's calculations for John Glenn's historic orbit around the Earth to Mary's work in a supersonic wind tunnel, and Dorothy's trailblazing work in computer programming. Their stories are often overlooked, but we need to recognize and celebrate their achievements, and also the achievements of other Black women and marginalized groups in history.
So join us as we celebrate these remarkable women who changed the course of space history and paved the way for others.
