This is an amazing woman. I'm so glad her story is finally being told. It's never too late to correct the record or to acknowledge greatness.

She show the world what it means to work hard, and be resilient at working towards her goals. She is an inspiration to all. ☺

Katherine should have been portrayed in the Apollo 13 film since her calculations figured prominently in the rescue of the mission!

[rosemimi]

She is now up there with the other NASA math ladies having fun with some equations a mortal like me would never understand.

This lady is great but she is being politicized which is sad. This woman never had the thought of "gender equality" run through here head. Smart people like her spend their time solving real problems, not marching and community organizing. Good Job Mrs. Johnson! You serve as a role model for today's women. Sadly the next few generations are lost and have no idea how to solve real world problems. They are more worried about what they can get for themselves than do for their country.
