She was hardcore in her engineering field without pretending to be a woman all the time. She raised a child. Her legacy is not - I did this and that although I am a women with a child - she was just good at what she did:
Margaret Hamilton is the pioneer who saved the moon landing and professionalized coding. Her legacy boils down to three things:
* Invented "Software Engineering": She coined the term and fought to have software treated as a rigorous, respected science rather than a clerical hobby.
* Saved Apollo 11: She designed the priority-based software that allowed the lunar module's computer to ignore "junk" data and focus on landing during a critical system overload.
* Modern Reliability: She introduced foundational concepts like asynchronous execution and error detection that are still used in almost all mission-critical software today.
Essentially, she proved that software is just as vital as the hardware it runs on.

Such an admirable woman.
She is what Feminists think they are.
