The bold story of Katherine Johnson, an African-American mathematician who worked for NASA during the space race and was depicted in the film Hidden Figures.

You've likely heard of the historic Apollo 13 moon landing. But do you know about the mathematical genius who made sure that Apollo 13 returned safely home?

As a child, Katherine Johnson loved to count. She counted the steps on the road, the number of dishes and spoons she washed in the kitchen sink, everything Boundless, curious, and excited by calculations, young Katherine longed to know as much as she could about math, about the universe.

From Katherine's early beginnings as a gifted student to her heroic accomplishments as a prominent mathematician at NASA, Counting on Katherine is the story of a groundbreaking American woman who not only calculated the course of moon landings but, in turn, saved lives and made enormous contributions to history.

Great buy
Color: Black
Love this: feels chic and effortless. The material feels really nice, the zipper is smooth and the stitching even. It's also a nice size: big enough to hold basics and a smaller paperback book (I can carry my Kindle Paperwhite in a slim case). There's no embellishment, it's very minimal. Even the zipper is hidden. You could add a larger zipper pull if you wanted a touch of something extra. There's one zipper pocket large enough to hold my cell and then some. There's also a delicate gold chain as a shoulder strap that can easily be removed. I'd love to see more colors added.

Perfect clutch!
This clutch was EXACTLY what I was looking for. It looks and feels like leather, it’s the perfect size and is made of high quality materials. I was able to fit my phone, wallet, compact and lipstick inside and it didn’t make it look bulky. It matched perfectly with my dress too (the perfect color burgundy). A great value for the price I paid.
