By saying how rare and uncommon it is for any woman to have a degree in math or science let alone a black woman, and what she went through to get her position in NASA.

I think it's more important to have an education to achieve their goals. If you have a good education over time it would lead you to achieve your goals and like for Katherine, no one told her to be a mathematician she chose to do that on her own.

It meant that she didn't have that many jobs to choose from since she was a black woman at the time meaning the only thing she could pursue is teaching since you needed to know stuff for it but luckily she got a job at NASA.

In this time we define them as the same because we have done went through women and blacks rights but in her time period a black woman with a degree and working at NASA was never heard of and she helped get more women and blacks to pursuit more things.
