Booktalk:<\/strong> Girls like Raye Montague weren\u2019t 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\u2014but Raye\u2019s 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\u2019s first female program manager of ships.<\/p>\n
