Up Periscope!: How Engineer Raye Montague Revolutionized Shipbuilding
by Jennifer Swanson (Author) and Veronica Miller Jamison (Illustrator)
@ Amazon | Bookshop

Booktalk: Girls like Raye Montague weren’t supposed to like math or science, or go to engineering school. But tenacious Raye had a plan, one that eventually took her all the way to the US Navy. There, she was assigned an impossible task: to come up with a single computer program that could design every part of a ship. It had never been done before—but Raye’s groundbreaking program revolutionized the way ships and submarines were built, and set her on a path to become a pioneering figure in naval engineering and the navy’s first female program manager of ships.
