Henrietta's Leavitt's began working at Harvard Observatory in the early 1900s amoun "the computers", an all female group tasked with charting the stars for a renowned astronomer. As Henrietta attempts to measure the distance of the light and distance of stars, she must also take measure of her life on Earth, trying to balance her dedication to science with family obligations and the possibility of love. An ode to working women and a memoir of a brilliant mind, this truce story about the life of the woman who discovered how to measure the distance between stars will leave you wondering about the distance we've come in 100 years.
