Hidden Figures
Hidden Figures is about three African American women mathematicians and the vital roles they played in the space program. It was an amazing movie that carried an emotional punch on many levels. I had no idea what problems NASA faced to get the first American astronaut into the atmosphere. Nor the day-to-day impact of segregation.
The intelligence of the three women the movie is based on leaves me in awe. Katherine Johnson started high school at age ten, graduated at fourteen and graduated from West Virginia State College at age eighteen. Mary Jackson and Dorothy Vaughan were also highly intelligent women who broke through the gender-color barrier. I don't want to mention much more in case you haven't seen the movie. But if you have seen it and are curious about how closely the movie followed the actual events, historyvshollywood did an interesting article on the film.
Highly recommended.

Wink and A Nod Thursday
I'm going to do a repeat. When I ran this post last fall I had a broken link and very few people saw it. So......without further adieu, this week's Wink and A Nod Recipient is Stephanie Faris.Besides being a children's author, she's a freelance writer, enjoys dogs and loves butterflies. Many of you are already familiar with Stephanie's blog but for those who aren't she ALWAYS has something interesting to say. If you haven't been to her blog, I highly recommend it.
Wink, wink, Stephanie.
So many blogs. So little time.

Vegetarian Protein And Wonder Woman
Do you use this product?
I just recently discovered it and love it. It has from 23 to 27 grams of protein and can be used in a hot dish or cold. I toss in a couple of different cheeses, some veggies and put it on my salads.
What do you do for protein?

On a different topic we went to see Wonder Woman this weekend. I was hesitant to because I didn't care for Batman VS Superman where she's first introduced. Then I saw Alex Cavanaugh's review and decided to give it a go. I'm so glad I did. On a one to five I'd give it a six. It's a great action flick. And talk about a feminist super hero:) Coming from an Amazon society, she just doesn't get the it's a man's world thing. Spoiler alert: If you're a Chris Pine fan there's a sad scene. Still highly recommended.
Thanks, Alex.
