Marta Tienda sees life stories in numbers. She is a sociologist, a scientist who studies human society. Numbers are the tools she uses to uncover information about people and their behavior. This work presents the story of this Mexican American girl raised in a home without books who grew up to become one of the world's leading sociologists.
