She decided that if she finished her flight around the world, she was going to set up a situation so that girls could participate in workshop classes. Women are still stigmatized in the field of technology, except in the field of coding. How many women do you see doing other technological things? Or again, how many women are there in government? I just thought we would be much further along now.Things are going backwards, like the right to abortion. What time is it? I thought we were doing this in the 70s! We did it; I was there. I remember our feeling of accomplishment. We never thought it would start to go backwards like this. We never imagined that. The world is full of things you can't imagine. But here we are. "
