Silent Sky
by Lauren Gunderson
It’s 1901 and a group of women “computers” at Harvard Observatory crunch numbers for esteemed male astronomers. But one pioneering woman, Henrietta Leavitt, charts a map to the Milky Way that will forever change the way we see the universe. Along the way, she must confront her life choices beneath the stars even as she reaches beyond them. An unforgettable true story from the playwright of last season’s Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley.
