In the history of technology, Margot Duhalde Sotomayor is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Margot Duhalde Sotomayor as Chilean aviator (1920–2018).
Margot Duhalde Sotomayor was born at Río Bueno in 1920. Her recorded nationality is Chile.
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 aircraft pilot and military personnel.
Technical work compounds - each layer makes the next one cheaper to attempt.
The honours are a fair index of how the work was received - Commander of the Legion of Honour (2006) and Knight of the Legion of Honour (1946).
That the work was done from Chile matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
Margot Duhalde Sotomayor died in 2018 at the age of 98. The work outlived the arguments around it.
