Welcome to the first episode of the series Inspo Women, in which we will share the stories of women who inspire us.  The first woman we will introduce you to today is Ekaterina Shulman. She is an incredible Russian political scientist, a mother, a wife, an expert on Vladimir Nabokov, and a literary critic with an impressive resume.  You can also check out her TED Talk “Technological Middle Ages”, which blew Evgeniia’s mind, here: https://youtu.be/wnj0ffH6vKQ?si=RZdOjx4639mfLTql (It is in Russian, but has English subtitles)  The second woman you will hear about in this episode is Katherine Johnson - one of the first African American women to work for NASA. She was an incredible mathematician and an insanely brave woman who paved the way for generations to come. Oh by the way, if it weren't for her Apollo 11, alongside the rest of the missions in the Apollo program, it would not have been successful.  The movie and book mentioned: “Hidden Figures” https://m.imdb.com/title/tt4846340/ https://www.blinkist.com/en/books/hidden-figures-en#:~:text=Brief%20summary,progress%20in%20the%20STEM%20industry.  Let us know what you think about this new series:)
