Female scientist here - thank you for reminding your niece and the world that we exist and have always existed!

I really appreciate things like this. I’ve been to too many events or lectures about historical engineering - especially for aerospace - only to have a male speaker spend the entire talk referring to “the amazing blokes/guys/men” who worked on certain innovations. It might be true that their colleagues were all male back then but it’s really gutting when they don’t even try to make the female aspiring engineers in the audience feel included.
