While the month of March is a time for celebrating women who have made history, we’re also honoring the Texas ASE/EM women who are working hard to make their own mark on the world. Our trailblazing community of women includes an astronaut, the first female fighter pilot, space mission engineers, technical and corporate leaders, faculty members, researchers, teachers and more. This year we feature just a sampling of these inspiring Longhorns who are changing the world and doing so in the biggest way – Texas-style, of course.
