| Abstract | "A picture book biography of engineer Raye Montague, who revolutionized the way the navy designed ships by developing her own comprehensive computer program"-- Provided by publisher. |
| Abstract | "Discover the hidden figure who created the first comprehensive computer program to design ships for the US Navy. 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."-- Publisher's website, viewed on July 22, 2025. |
