'Illuminating...these women are vividly depicted at work, at play, in and out of love, raising children--
and making history. What a team--and what a story!'―Gene Seymour, USA Today (3.5 stars/4)

of the space age.'―Popular Science'A marvelous book.... When Neil Armstrong made his 'giant
leap for mankind,' there was womankind in the control room.' ―Maria Popova, Brain Pickings
'Immersive, evocative.... Superbly readable.... Holt's poignant narrative should be required
reading.' ―Maya Gittelman, Bookreporter'Holt investigates the fascinating lives and important
contributions of these women, who defied the sexist stereotypes of their times to play pivotal roles
in sending the first rockets beyond Earth.' ―Scientific American'An intriguing account of the
young, female 'human computers' who worked at Caltech's JPL. Be inspired by their work on
America's first satellite and other groundbreaking projects, against the social backdrop of the
Space Age, slowly changing gender norms, and the dawn of computers.'―Estelle Tang, Elle, '5

an under-appreciated part in NASA's towering achievements.... Here, math is dramatic, not
mundane. Calculating is a physical, even athletic, act.... Holt depicts the human computers' life
stories vividly.' ―Jennifer Light, Nature'Women were obviously just as vital to innovation and
progress. Rise of the Rocket Girls proves that by reexamining the space age-specifically, the
group of women who redesigned rocket science in the '40s and '50s and made that 'one small step
for man' possible in the first place.' ―Isabella Biedenharn, Christian Holub, Dana Getz,
Entertainment Weekly'NASA's 'Rocket Girls' are no longer forgotten history. Thanks to a new
book, these female pioneers who helped the U.S. win the space race are finally getting their due...
Holt documents the lives of these women, who were not only pioneers in their profession, but also
in their personal lives.' ―Naomi Shavin, Smithsonian'A must read for any women in tech or
