Interesting: - Sorry, but "born in a large country" doesn't look hooky to me, especially since it's not uncommon for children of military personnel (like Johnson) to be born abroad wherever said personnel are stationed. Perhaps something related to defying William Shockley's racist beliefs, her firsts about Black women, or both?
Withdrawn. I thought that her birthplace would be seen as surprising, but apparently not. As far as I can tell everything else in the article is routine "engineer does engineering" or best-avoided-as-hooks "first person of specific subgroup to do something specific". I don't want to use Shockley because we only have one source for that anecdote and I worry that it might have distorted it somewhat in the telling. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:20, 26 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

@David Eppstein: See my above note. Otherwise, article is solid, and special thanks for offering an extra hand on the backlog. ミラP@Miraclepine 02:44, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
