Original – Kitty Joyner, NASA's first woman engineer, analyzing the operation of a wind tunnel turbine at NACA Langley in 1952
Reason
I came across this image while looking through some of the "GReat Images in NASA" (GRIN) on Commons and liked it so much I decided to look into the subject and, eventually, start the Wikipedia article. Kitty Joyner was the first woman employed by NASA as an engineer. The photo is of her at the Langley Research Center in 1952, analyzing the operation of a wind tunnel turbine. In addition to being a compelling and historically meaningful photo of Joyner, it was also added as the lead image for our engineer article.
