Question
I am a Program Facilitator at Girls Inc. of Orange County and I am making some posters to help me educate young girls on professional women in the fields of science and engineering.  When it comes to Aeronautical Engineering I have had almost zero luck in finding women on the interenet let alone any with pictures big enough to use on a poster.  Do you have any suggestions of women who are currently in that field who might be willing to send me a picture of themselves working thier job and/or at least a portrait.

Answer

As I am retired I have lost track of the many women I worked with in Aero Engineering at NASA.  But I did a Google search on 'women at NASA' and got this website:

http://quest.nasa.gov/women/WON.html

The bios and pictures of many NASA women can be found.  I bet they would send you better photos if you asked.
