She was one of the NASA female math whizzes featured in the movie “Hidden Figures”. A life to be celebrated, no question.
Wow, no masters, PhD? Attended
WEST Virginia state college. Amazing RIP
Even at my ripe old age of 47, It’s hard to believe there was a time when the intellect of anyone other that white males wasn’t valued. Being the son of a woman who earned her MD in 1965 and was told to empty bedpans and fetch coffee while wearing her lab coat with the title MD on it is unfathomable...but it wasn’t that long ago...and there are many who think about the “good ‘ole days” with nostalgia- yikes!
Hats off to your Mom, I am sure she had to be twice the doctor to earn the same respect that her male counterparts did. Sounds like she did a good job raising her son too!
