Anna Lee Fisher belongs to the record of technology as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.
The record lists Anna Lee Fisher as American astronaut (born 1949).
Anna Lee Fisher was born at Chile in 1949. Her recorded nationality is the United States. She was educated at San Pedro High School and University of California, Los Angeles.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
The record gives her occupations as astronaut, chemist and physician.
Technical work compounds - each layer makes the next one cheaper to attempt.
Her work was formally recognised with the Golden Honorary Ring of the City of Hof.
That the work was done from the United States matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
Anna Lee Fisher is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
