The inspiring memoir of NASA trailblazer Katherine Johnson—one of the brilliant minds behind Hidden Figures.
In 2015, at age 97, Katherine Johnson became a global icon when President Barack Obama awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her groundbreaking work as a NASA mathematician. Her contributions to America’s space program were immortalized in the Academy Award-nominated film Hidden Figures, but her full story has never been told—until now.
In My Remarkable Journey, Katherine shares her extraordinary path from a child prodigy in segregated West Virginia to one of NASA’s most brilliant human computers. With wisdom and warmth, she reflects on the power of education, perseverance, and breaking barriers.
A must-read memoir of resilience, history, and inspiration, this is the legacy of a woman who helped launch America into space—and paved the way for future generations.
