Annie Easley

Many women in the 1930’s have done important, effective and positive impacts that still contribute to life today. The Great Depression caused and dominated millions of citizens who made women stronger and helped the economy build up again. One of the main women that sacrificed her whole career to do what she believed in and make a difference in many lives was Agnes Campbell Macphail. Macphail had made numerous contributions in the 1930s for fairness and equality. She was also one of the first women into Parliament. Macphail believed women have a place and right to express their own opinions. She mainly entered

An example of that would be during a laboratory open house, where a photo of her and the rest of her co-workers was blown up and put on display, with the exception of her face which was purposely cut out of the picture. She was very embarrassed about it but she didn't let it affect her. In an interview with NASA she said “When people have their biases and prejudices, yes, I am aware. My head is not in the sand. But my thing is, if I can't work with you, I will work around you. I was not about to be discouraged that I'd walk away. That may be a solution for some people, but it's not mine”. Another obstacle she faced was her inability to get a good education as others because of her skin colour. Back at her time, there was a lot of discrimination.which resulted in a separation of schools for black and white people. The schools with black kids typically had a worse education. She was also unable to continue her study as a pharmacist because she got married and had to move. Though all of that happened to her It didn't stop her from becoming a great computer programmer, mathematician, and a rocket scientist for NASA who helped make modern spaceflight possible with her calculations. Everything she has done and all the obstacles she has faced are reasons that make her a very notable

Alice Ball came into the world on July 24, 1892, in Seattle, Washington. Her grandfather was a famous photographer and her father was a lawyer.

Who is Annie Easley? Maybe she was one of the four African Americans to work for NASA out of 2,500 employees. Or maybe she was a human computer, a mathematician, or a math technician? Who was Annie Easley?

Her bodily movement and tone exemplify her self-assurance, and how comfortable she is with her abilities as a coder. As a leader of these other women, she displays confidence in her skills in leading them and fostering support for all of them. This reveals not just her confidence in her capability to problem solve, but her leadership skills in sharing her knowledge and skill development amongst her colleagues. Her immense self-reliance to lead is not just present within NASA, but among her

While applying to an ad to work at NASA, this woman was the only one out of the 1,000 people that replied to the ad that had the opportunity to talk to Kraft, the “head” of NASA. It was a tremendous deal to talk to the boss guy . Right then and there she knew she made it into NASA to be an astronaut.( Sally Ride taking off ) It was the changing point of her career and other women’s careers that she helped influence. "I was so dazzled to be on the crew and go into space I remembered very little of what he said," Sally Ride from Time magazine. This quote entities that Ride was exceptionally enthusiastic to be able to join NASA as a woman. The former astronaut was determined to land where she expected, if not more. Ride defied the odds of being a woman and being intelligent at the same time.

Some historical, figures are remembered for their actions, for example Napoleon, while others are remembered for their for their intent for example Charles de Gaulle. Every historic figure remembers differently depending on what they did, however it does not matter if the person had a massive impact or if they only made a dent in the end they are all equal because they have accomplished or almost accomplished something that could not be forgotten. Amelia Simmons became an important historic figure, especially in culinary history, because she wrote American Cookery, the real reason behind her writing American Cookery and how American cookery was one of the first stepping stones for creating a diverse world.

Accepting ones past is always a hard thing to do, but by facing ones fears and learning to acknowledge and understand ones past, it becomes easier to move forward. Written in third person omniscient point of view, Annie Proulx’s novel, The Shipping News, exerts a dark yet comical tone. Proulx’s style of writing evokes a strong sense of setting and through setting the theme of the novel is developed. Ironic situations and comical details about the setting allow Proulx to emphasize her theme of how everyone should accept their pasts.

The year was 1967. Eileen was 17 years old when she first starting feeling like a grown adult after that horrible morning that involved her mother... and a gun. In 1967 Eileen Johnson was a childish immature selfish girl. She had been that way all her life. But that one day on that super hot morning in August in Kirkland Washington (her childhood home.) She had just finished cleaning the house. She had been cleaning all day. She got up at around 9:00 am and started cleaning everything. She had finished cleaning at around 4:00 pm. She had dinner in the oven and she went to go let her mom know that that it was ready and that she needed to play cards with her. She opened the door to her mom's duty funky smelling old room. She went to the head of the bed because she couldn't see her because a whole bunch of clothes were in the way.

It had been about ten months since Aileen Mavourneen was introduced to the family. I was never fond of her. She was a dog and since i was a cat, we didn't get along. She always had the attention and Sadie never played with me anymore. The baby was always pulling on the dog's fur, laying on it, playing with it, kissing it. My days are quite a bore now that no one does any of that with me.

NASA employees of the West Area Computers building were Hidden Figures. Katherine Johnson was an expert in analytical geometry and was part of NASA’s Space Task Group. Mary Jackson was a NASA engineer, the very first black female engineer. Dorothy Vaughan was a mathematician who became NASA’s first black female supervisor. These three women, though extremely smart and talented, were not treated with the respect they deserved and faced many obstacles that they had to overcome.

Margot Lee Shetterly’s Hidden Figures is the story and celebration of three black women such as (Dorothy Vaughan, Katherine Johnson, and Mary Jackson) who worked as computers, mathematicians, scientists, and engineers from 1943 to 1980 for the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics and its successor, the (NASA). More precisely, it is a historical homage to the fearlessness of mathematical minds too brilliant to be hindered by racism and sexism to women who walked away from traditional, low-paying teaching jobs and marched into a predominantly white, segregated work force that considered them, in Shetterly’s words, “invisible and invaluable at the same time. These women served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in history,

Speaking of Hopper, Salovery said, “An extraordinary mathematician and a senior naval officer, Hopper achieved eminence in fields historically dominated by men. Today, her principal legacy is all around us — embodied in the life-enhancing technology she knew would become commonplace. Grace Murray Hopper College thus honors her spirit of innovation and public service while looking fearlessly to the future.”
