Meet Raye Montague--the hidden mastermind who made waves in the U.S.
Navy!
After touring a German submarine in the early 1940s, young Raye set her
sights on becoming an engineer. Little did she know sexism and racial
inequality would challenge that dream every step of the way, even
keeping her greatest career accomplishment a secret for decades. Through
it all, the gifted mathematician persisted--finally gaining her
well-deserved title in history: a pioneer who changed the course of ship
design forever.
The Girl With a Mind for Math: The Story of Raye Montague is the third
book in a riveting educational series about the inspiring lives of
amazing scientists. In addition to the illustrated rhyming tale, you'll
find a complete biography, fun facts, a colorful timeline of events, and
even a note from Montague herself!
