Well, I used to work (and do crosword puzzles) with a nice female 
engineer named Sabra... does that count? She was of Pakistani descent 
and used to spend rather a lot of time being photographed for company 
(British Aerospace as was) literature as she was a classic example of 
"equal opportunity", being both non-caucasian and female; we used to 
tease her that if she'd come out as a lesbian and become a single 
mother, she wouldn't need to work! She said that her husband would 
object.

When last heard of, she'd moved to Airbus in Toulouse to be with said 
husband.
