Rosemary A. Dobbins, 1927 - 2006 ("Master Artist, Brilliant Mom", 'Find a Grave' download)
A wonderful engraving, simple yet elegant. At/from. The obituary is a must read:

Also, although disappointingly cursory, with no reference to, nor context as to significance. That being: a woman - during the early 1960s - producing exquisite, foundational & critical technical illustrations - for NASA - specifically, pertaining to the APOLLO PROGRAM (and who knows what else) - as part of one of the United States’ most incredible accomplishments - when a woman’s “place” was “in the kitchen”. Particularly underwhelming since it was posted in conjunction with Women's History Month.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the effort, but it totally misses the point & would more fittingly be part of "Command Module History Month". But at least she’s finally “somebody” via a NASA outlet, hence a “WIN”:
