Talentos ocultos Audiobook Summary

La fenomenal historia de mujeres matematicas afroamericanas de la NASA en la vanguardia del movimiento feminista y de derechos civiles, cuyos calculos impulsaron uno de los mayores logros espaciales de Estados Unidos. Pronto sera una gran pelicula protagonizada por Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, Janelle Monae, Kirsten Dunst, y Kevin Costner. Antes de que John Glenn girara en orbita alrededor de la Tierra, o Neil Armstrong caminara en la luna, un grupo de mujeres profesionales en el area de las matematicas conocidas como <> usaron lapices, reglas de calculo, maquinas de sumar para escribir las ecuaciones base para el lanzamiento de cohetes y astronautas al espacio. Entre ellas se encuentran un grupo de mujeres afroamericanas excepcionalmente talentosas, algunas de las mentes mas brillantes de su generacion. Originalmente relegadas a ensenar matematicas en escuelas publicas segregadas del sur, fueron llamadas a servir durante la escasez laboral de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, cuando la industria aeronautica de Estados Unidos se encontraba en extrema necesidad de alguien con conocimientos. Repentinamente, estas profesionales tenian acceso a un empleo digno de sus habilidades y respondieron al llamado del Tio Sam, se mudaron a Hampton, Virginia, y al fascinante mundo del Laboratorio Aeronautico Langley Memorial. A pesar de que las leyes Jim Crow de Virginia les obligaba a estar separadas de sus homologos blancos, el grupo de mujeres afroamericanas <> ayudo a Estados Unidos a alcanzar una de las metas mas deseadas: una victoria decisiva sobre la Union Sovietica durante la Guerra Fria, y el dominio completo de los cielos. Iniciando en la Segunda Guerra Mundial y hasta la Guerra Fria, el Movimiento de los derechos civiles y la carrera espacial, Figuras ocultas entrelaza las historias de Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson y Christine Darden, cuatro mujeres afroamericanas que participaron en algunos de los mayores exitos de la NASA. Es la cronica de sus carreras a lo largo de casi tres decadas en las que enfrentaron desafios, alianzas y utilizaron su intelecto para cambiar sus vidas y el futuro de su pais.
