Engineer & inventor Beatrice Hicks: pioneering figure esp. for women in #engineering & for sensing technology used in aerospace. Her work directly advanced aviation & NASA's Apollo Moon missions.🧵 Co-founder & first president of the Society of Women Engineers. She died #OTD in 1979. #WomenInSTEM

Another amazing legacy. And might I add that she looks like she could be Ingrid Bergman's sister.
