What assumption did Dorothy make about the bulletin looking for women to fill

mathematical jobs? Why did she make that assumption? Hidden figures ch 2

Dorothy assumed the bulletin was meant for the eyes of the white, well-to-do students at the all-female State Teachers College in Farmville.

Explanation:

Interestingly, in the book Hidden figures one of the main characters, Dorothy, who because of her black race background felt that she was not going to be considered for the job.

In fact, the book writes, "it never occurred to her that the Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory would accept an application from an African-American woman". This assumption occurred because, at the time, people were racists towards blacks even in employment matters.
