Thesis Statement

Throughout her career, Margaret Hamilton broke barriers in space exploration, computer science, and software engineering. She was a brilliant innovator at a time when very few women worked in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields.


"[W]hat seems to work best for me when I want to learn about anything new or to do anything new is not to let fear get in the way. "

-Margaret Hamilton
