Computer Scientist and Engineer at the Arianespace rocket launch team in Kourou, Guyana, the Spanish Marta Dávila Mateu, 23, is also a passionate and stylish skater-surfer with a past as a sailing champion. Her Instagram account, initially for fun, has grown to more than 80,000 followers, her feminist weapon to invite women to do like her. Surfing, skateboarding and engineering have long been male fields and often sexist fields. Marta, with her vitality, her talent and her commitment, shakes up the codes and shows that things are moving, that things must change.
