The nearest woman’s bathroom was open to the white woman but not Mary, because she was black. There were ‘colored’ bathrooms somewhere on the East Side, but Mary didn't know where. She stormed off to look on her own.” (Shetterly 87).

“When the engineers analyzed Katherine’s work, they were fascinated to recognize something they hadn’t realized before. The data showed that the air disturbance caused by a jet that flew past could trouble the air for as long as a half hour after it had passed through" (Shetterly 105).
