@Maile66: taking into account Yoninah's concern on hooks about women, I want to add one more hook that is more focused on her work: Alt 2:
  • ... that Mae Jemison (pictured), the first black woman in space, worked at a Cambodian refugee camp in Thailand while in medical school and was a medical officer for the Peace Corps before becoming an astronaut? --- Coffeeandcrumbs 20:43, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

ALT2 approved, which I believe to be superior to the other hooks. Good job there. — Maile (talk) 20:51, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
