Long time member Paula Rees wrote an article featured in Fortune Magazine titled "How this woman you’ve never heard of shaped our world", about a legendary female design educator and innovator Sarah Turnbull.

From Fortune Magazine:

"Why do we need National Women’s History Month? Because you’ve never heard of her. Which “her” am I talking about? In this case, a woman who changed how we live and designed products that saved lives.

Sara Little Turnbull was a multi-faceted design consultant who created everything from furnishings and foodstuffs to car interiors and spacesuits. A generous collaborator for seven decades, she was unafraid of working in R&D, marketing, material science, engineering, or on the manufacturing floor. Her achievements were many and her products are ubiquitous–but you’ve never heard of her."
