Gwynne Shotwell is a personal hero. She’s President & COO at SpaceX. “SpaceX has a female president?” Yeah, it does. If you didn’t know that, ask yourself why.

Here's a Q: when did you last read an article about an amazing woman in tech working on something important? Not a story *about a man* saying something awful. Not a story with the keywords "woman," "tech” AND "sex." Thread follows.

(By the way, the implication in Vance’s Elon Musk biography is that Shotwell lost interest in the auto industry because they wouldn’t let her keep playing with all the fun tools and liquid nitrogen.)

Basically, the coolest woman ever is a below-the-fold profile in Marie Claire. What fundamental failure of humanity is this?

Part of it is probably that Shotwell is too busy running a $20+bn rocket company to care about self-promotion. But *maybe* a contributing factor is that there are "better" stories to tell — for example, that her boss did not get laid at a party 6 months ago. Let us reflect.

I agree. Then they wonder why don't they have enough women in STEM. Because failed actresses and T.V. hosts are self promoting themselves as female heroes. This lady made it with no affirmative action. She is there cuz she is good at what she does.
