Does anyone know of a good book on computers, the many (Black) #women who work as #computers?

@istuetzle not exactly sure how to understand the question (working as computers in what sense?) but this is probably a good start:

@rheinze @istuetzle thank you for the shout out! I assume everybody has said Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly already!🩵 (I am actually working on a project at the University of Virginia with her right now as she extends her work from the book to find more women. It’s called The Human Computer Project and hopefully will have some output to share within the next year or so!)
