The right way to reduplicate information in a sentence?
This sentence twice gives the information that Peggy was the only female
in this workforce. The wording looks jarring.
It wasn't that Peggy was the only woman mechanic working at the Altus
Oklahoma Air Force Base, although she was.

I'd find it perfectly acceptable with one word added:
It wasn't that Peggy was the only woman mechanic working at the Altus
Oklahoma Air Force Base, although she INDEED was.
As to why INDEED should make such a difference, I'm at a loss to explain.
Can someone explain it, if they agree that INDEED does indeed make the
sentence acceptable?
