I have mixed feelings on the pronoun use, but having read some of her autobiographical writing I don’t think she would have taken much issue with it. This piece is more focused on her work in computer engineering, so I felt it was appropriate to post here.

I’m okay with it too. It adds context. If they referred to her as “she” describing the period she was a married father with kids it could be confusing.
