Hidden Figures

A few years ago, a movie came out called Hidden Figures. It is about three African American mathematicians and their overlooked contribution to NASA during the space race era. Hidden figures referred to the numerical calculations as human computers and also referred to the women themselves who went unknown for many years due to racism and sexism. They were unseen although their contributions changed the space race. This is the story of women who are mothers, daughters, and sisters who ask the unspoken question in their heart, “Does anyone see me?” This is especially true for women in the Bible. In a patriarchal world, our biblical sisters were often hidden figures. Mothers, and women in general, are often unrecognized, unappreciated, undervalued, and unseen; but God sees. No one is hidden from God.
