Most of the women who inspire me to hold my ground in this field actually had little to do with computers - like my college calculus teacher.  I had not taken a math class in 4 years when I entered her class, and I approached with much trepidation.  There were some difficult times in the class, but her enthusiasm and determination to show how elegant mathematics could be inspired me.  I soon became determined not to let the subject get the better of me no matter what my pre-conceived notions were  - and that skill has come to my rescue time and time again since I switched from being a historian to a full-time techie.

Who, if any woman, has inspired you to be a Linux Chik?  I'm trying to develop a mentoring program for young women to meet & be inspired by female high tech "success stories".  Know any?
Thanks!
