I cold emailed her when I was a freshman after hearing her keynote at Harvard. She responded to me in under 16 hours and we spoke later that week.
(At the time, I was running a non-profit teaching 3D‑printing classes to girls aged 7-14 while researching the structural drivers of the gender gap in STEM.)
I asked her what piqued her interest in STEM. She told me that her mom dragged her to a Society of Women Engineers talk in Illinois. One mechanical engineer on the panel had “killer shoes and a sharp suit”. Gwynne basically thought, "Whatever she's doing, I'm doing that." ~Iconic~
