Did Johnson really need to run a half a mile just to use the restroom? Or even the climax. After watching some Hollywood like Johnson erupting at her boss's boss, it becomes more difficult to believe in the little things. I cannot say if what the creators did is ethical, but the addition of obviously manufactured drama was a damning decision. The director/writer Melfi and co-writer Schroeder were clearly unsatisfied with the quiet, real nobility with which these woman conducted themselves. The woman at the core are also very deserving of a chance in the sun. The mix presents America at its finest and most appalling. We have seen heroes fighting against segregation. Beyond the highlight performances, the scenario is well worth a shot. Kudos to the supporting roles played by Ali and Costner. I will be on the lookout for more from this talent. Henson is solid, but Spencer is Oscar worthy and Monae's performance is part of a spectacular 2016. Having the performances to anchor your character drama goes along way. These women must meet challenges in the workplace then return home to more struggles African-Americans were fighting nationwide. Finally Mary Jackson (Monae), who is trying to overcome discriminatory policies to become NASA's first female engineer. Second, Dorothy Vaughan (Spencer), leader of the "colored computers." She wants both the supervisor title she deserves and to survive the transition to IBM's mechanical computers. First Katherine Johnson (Henson), our lead, a gifted mathematician and human computer trying to carve out a roll in the Space Test Group. Hidden Figures is an upbeat, inspiring tale about the role three African-American women played in the NASA program during the early 60's. Unfortunately, here the need to do some fact checking might not stem from all the right reasons.

To recognize her work, the women at Novosanis took our own versions of photos inspired by “ Hidden Figures’’, a 2016 movie based on Johnson’s work. Further, she was one of the few black women in her group, breaking stereotypes and actively promoting racial equality in the workspace ( 3, 4). Among other projects, her mathematical calculations helped Apollo 11 land on the moon in 1969 as well as safely return to Earth. Johnson’s work at NASA greatly contributed to space research. In this regard, Katherine Johnson’s work stands out and is an inspiration for women in science. Additionally, less than a third of female students choose higher education courses in subjects like mathematics and engineering ( 2). ![]() However, even today, women are underrepresented in the field of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).Īccording to the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS), less than 30% of the world’s researchers are women ( 1). Over the years, women have gained positions and been recognized in various industries, businesses and activities. In particular, we want to take this opportunity to recognize Katherine Johnson - the NASA mathematician, who recently passed away at age 101. On the occasion of International Women’s Day (March 8, 2020), Novosanis celebrates all women in science and health.
