Drawn from Milera's dissertation: Caitlin Milera, 2022, Ms. Pearl Irma Young: "Raising Hell" For Women In Stem Fields And Women At NASA, 1914 - 1968 (2022). Theses and Dissertations, University of North Dakota
- "Pearl Young was born on 12 October 1895 in Taopi, Minnesota, the second oldest of 11 children."
- "Young graduated with honors as a triple major in physics, mathematics, and chemistry from the University of North Dakota (UND) in 1919."
- She began wok at Langley aero lab (in Virginia?) in April 1922. The lab's name is abbreviated LMAL (Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory perhaps).
- Against " barriers that women faced in STEM and at the NACA/NASA, Young persisted. She did so through acts of advocacy, establishing a network of connectedness, and ... remaining true to her authentic self."
- "In 1943, she authored a document entitled Style Manual for Engineering Authors, which served as a style guide for authors at Langley and other NACA laboratories"
