While the story of women's liberation has often been framed by the growing acceptance of pants over the twentieth century, the most important and influential female fashions of the era featured skirts. Suffragists and soldiers marched in skirts; the heroines of the Civil Rights Movement took a stand in skirts. Frida Kahlo and Georgia O'Keeffe revolutionized modern art and Marie Curie won two Nobel Prizes in skirts. When NASA put a man on the moon, “the computer wore a skirt,” in the words of one of those computers, mathematician Katherine G. Johnson. As women made strides towards equality in the vote, the workforce, and the world at large, their wardrobes evolved with them. They did not need to "wear the pants" to be powerful or progressive; the dress itself became modern as designers like Mariano Fortuny, Coco Chanel, Jean Patou, and Diane von Furstenberg redefined femininity for a new era. Kimberly Chrisman-Campbell's Skirts: Fashioning Modern Femininity in the Twentieth Century (St. Martin's Press, 2022) looks at the history of twentieth-century womenswear through the lens of game-changing styles like the little black dress and the Bar Suit, as well as more obscure innovations like the Taxi dress or the Pop-Over dress, which came with a matching potholder. These influential garments illuminate the times in which they were first worn―and the women who wore them―while continuing to shape contemporary fashion and even opening the door for a genderfluid future of skirts. At once an authoritative work of history and a delightfully entertaining romp through decades of fashion, Skirts charts the changing fortunes, freedoms, and aspirations of women themselves.

Mathematik und Intuition An dem Tag als Cathrin und Kim diese Folge aufzeichnen, erfahren sie in der Aufnahmekabine, dass diese starke Frau, die sie vorstellen wollen, am selben Tag in Newport News, Virginia verstarb. Katherine G. Johnson, eine der drei durch den oscar-prämierten Film "Hidden Figures" bekannter gewordenen Mathematikerinnen, trägt maßgeblich dazu bei, dass die allererste Erdumrundung in einem Raumschiff im Jahr 1962 erfolgreich und sicher verläuft. Aber nicht nur das: Gegen Ende der 1960er Jahre berechnet Johnson die korrekte Umlaufbahn für die Apollo-11 Raumfahrtmission, was wiederum die erste Mondlandung durch Menschen ermöglichte. Um nur zwei Errungenschaften im Rahmen ihrer Tätigkeit bei der NASA zu nennen... Katherine war und ist in vielerlei Hinsicht ein starkes Vorbild: Als Frau in einem vorwiegend und nach wie vor männlich geprägten Arbeitsumfeld: Mathematikerin der NASA Als schwarze Frau in in den 60 Jahren in den USA Als dreifache Mutter und Witwe Hört rein und lasst euch beeindrucken.

One of NASA's original computers is turning 98 this summer. Her name is Katherine Johnson!
She counted everything; and NASA counted on her. And now NASA Langley is dedicating a new computer research facility after this remarkable woman, Katherine G. Johnson.
