摘要

In April 1990, NDTA devoted an entire issue to Women in Transportation and the careers of 29 outstanding women, headlined by Elaine L. Chao, who was then the Deputy Secretary of Transportation. Even further back, in April of 1984, the Journal featured an article called "Women: 'Esprit' of Success," starting with the remarkable story of Deborah Gannet who became the first WAC in American military history when she enlisted (disguised as a man, Robert Shurtliff). The articles go on to highlight the careers of notables such as COL Elizabeth Hoisington, WAC Director and first Army Brigadier General; Maj. Gen. Jeanne Holm, USAF, first female officer to be promoted to Major General; and Rear Admiral Grace Hooper, "the officer who brought the Navy into the computer age".
