"...sheer magic...bursts of smart, infectious humor." - San Francisco Chronicle The true story of 19th-century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt explores a woman's place in society during a time of immense scientific discoveries. when she begins work at the Harvard Observatory, she isn't allowed to touch a telescope. Instead she joins a group of women "computers," charting the stars for a renownd astronomer. Henrietta Leavitt and her female peers believe in both scientific and social progress, and their dedication changed the way we understand both the Heavens and Earth.
