Overnight code : the life of Raye Montague, the woman who revolutionized naval engineering / Paige Bowers & David R. Montague.

Bowers, Paige, (author.). Montague, David R., (author.).

Summary:

"Raye Montague was an ambitious little girl in segregated Little Rock. She grew to be a woman who spent a lifetime educating herself, both inside and outside of the classroom, so that she could become the person and professional she aspired to be. Where some saw roadblocks, Montague only saw hurdles that needed to be overcome. Her mindset helped her become the first person to draft a Naval ship design by computer, using a program she worked late nights to debug. She did this as a single mother during the height of the Cold War, all the while imbuing her son with the hard-won wisdom she had accumulated throughout the years"--Amazon.
