    Besides Mary Blair as an Imagineer there is Harriett Lee Tapp Burns ” 1ST female Imagineer”, Alice May Estes Costuming’ Ruth “Ruthie” Irene Tompson knew Walt and his brothers & sister when they were young she died at 111 and was a Disney Legend !

      I did some more looking for women in imagineering, Maggie Elliot, Peggie Fariss, Eli Erlandson, Paula Dinkel, Karen Connolly Armitage, Katie Olson, Becky Bishop, Pam Rank, Lynne Macer Rhodes, Kathy Rogers, Julie Svendsen and Tori Atencio McCullough. Quite a list and I bet making a big impact for Disney !
