About the Book

Discover the Hidden Figure Who Helped America Reach for the Stars In the annals of American innovation, there are names we all know. But what about the ones we don't? Meet Mary Golda Ross, a woman whose life was a testament to the power of quiet genius. Born into the heart of the Cherokee Nation in rural Oklahoma, she carried the values of her heritage with her every step of the way, from a humble schoolhouse to the highest-stakes secret projects of the Cold War. The Girl Who Saw the Stars tells the incredible, in-depth story of the first female Native American aerospace engineer. With a mind for mathematics and a passion for the cosmos, Mary Ross defied every expectation of her time. She became an indispensable part of the legendary Lockheed Skunk Works, where she worked on the classified projects that would define an era. This book is a journey through the most pivotal moments of the 20th century, seen through the eyes of a woman who was quietly helping to shape them. You'll learn how her flawless calculations were critical to: The design of the iconic P-38 Lightning fighter plane. The development of powerful intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). The creation of the Agena rocket, the crucial workhorse of the early Space Race that made the Gemini and Apollo programs possible. Mary Golda Ross was more than just a brilliant engineer; she was a trailblazer who broke down barriers with her intellect and resilience. She was a mentor to a new generation, a passionate advocate for Native American youth, and a living symbol of what is possible when talent meets determination. The Girl Who Saw the Stars is a powerful and inspiring story of a hidden figure who was, in fact, an architect of our modern world. Her legacy is in the rockets that still fly, the satellites that connect us, and the path she cleared for all who dare to dream. Uncover her untold story. Buy your copy today.
