RISE OF THE ROCKET GIRLS:
An Evening with Nathalia Holt A perfect culmination to our fifth season!
|
|
Nathalia Holt spoke to a fascinated audience at the CPH Library. about her recently published book, Rise of the Rocket Girls: The Women Who Propelled Us, from Missiles to the Moon to Mars. She shared stories of the women who helped shape NASA’s early years, highlighting their contributions up to the present day. For decades, the story of how these women transformed rocket design and made space exploration possible – with little more than paper, pencil, and mathematical prowess at their disposal – has remained little known and rarely told.
Nathalia Holt is also the author of Cured: The People Who Defeated HIV and a former fellow at the Ragon Institute of Massachusetts General Hospital, MIT, and Harvard University. Her writing has appeared in the New York Times, the Atlantic, Slate, Time, and Popular Science. |
