Macie Roberts
Macie "Bobby" Roberts is a former supervisor at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). She was the supervisor for a group of women nicknamed "computers" during the 1960s. Roberts paved the way for the next generation of female supervisors and computers. The team that she led had their hands on almost every project at NASA before the development of physical computers.
Career
Macie "Bobby" Roberts was the original supervisor of the human computers at NASA, later dubbed the rocket women. She believed that it would be too difficult to work with men, so she created a culture of all women that spanned much longer than her time at JPL. Her predecessor, Helen Ling, continued on the tradition of only hiring women. The women on Robert's team performed trajectory calculations for all space flights before the advent of the desktop computer.
Legacy
Her legacy was continued on by the supervisors that followed her. Many women that were just as smart as male engineers could not find work, but they were hired on to be rocket women at JPL. These women formed a sisterhood that has lived on throughout the lifetime of NASA.
Famous Quotes
“You have to look like a girl, act like a lady, think like a man, and work like a dog.”
