Elsie MacGill was the first woman in the world to earn a master’s degree in aeronautical engineering (1929). The "Queen of the Hurricanes" was a pioneering Canadian aircraft designer who led production of the Hawker Hurricane fighter planes during #WWII. She was born #OTD in 1905. #WomenInSTEM

Black-and-white close-up portrait photograph of Elsie MacGill, the pioneering Canadian aeronautical engineer known as the “Queen of the Hurricanes.” Shown from the shoulders up, she has short, wavy light hair, wears thin round wire-rimmed glasses, and a light collared blouse under a darker jacket, looking slightly toward the camera with a calm, neutral expression against a plain studio background.
