Kathy's famous not just for the harassment she received. She was one of (if not the) first to bring the user into Internet product design. Her point was that users want to feel good about themselves ("kick ass") and then get them into flow, so your job as product designer is to give them that feeling from the get-go. Her book Badass <https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VAUIM18/ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VAUIM18/> has some of that in it, but also covers her focus on perceptual learning -- the kind of learning that chicken sexers do (you get feedback on whether you were right or wrong, but not how to improve, yet that's enough to get better over time). That focus was as a result of her other career, training horses. She created the "Head First" series of books, which changed what and how computer instruction books worked. She's still out there teaching and training people in how to help their users succeed: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBtcGwHPMKM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBtcGwHPMKM>. Please don't send Kathy down in history known only for what men did to her. She deserves to be known for what she created.
