It notes that while the book offers a more comprehensive chronicle spanning several decades and featuring a larger ensemble of women, the film takes certain artistic liberties to create a more focused narrative highlighting the lives of three extraordinary women. Both versions have their own unique charms and perspectives on sharing the inspirational story of Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson and their contributions to NASA's space program during the 1960s.
