She was not only a major contributor to The Original Series, but also broke new ground for women in the 1960s.

Dorothy Fontana went from Gene Roddenberry’s secretary to being the Script Consultant on the show in just a few months. It was her story telling skill and intellect that made those stories she touched...memorable.

She achieved what few women could in the mid-1960s. Not only did she have a professional career, but she achieved a position that, at that time, was usually reserved only for men.

And she did it before she was 30!

So it seems fitting for our 100th episode that we’re talking about someone who had such a huge impact on Star Trek, while also being a ground-breaking figure.
