Thank you for highlighting the contributions of women in computing, especially at it's inception! That is so easily forgotten or intentionally ignored in the age of the "tech bro"
There were other programmers before those of ENIAC, but they also included women, like Grace Hopper, who later had an important role in the development of programming languages.
Hopper's trajectory from the Mark I to FLOW-MATIC to COBOL is one of the great arcs in computing.
She had to fight to convince people that programs could be written in English-like words, her colleagues thought the idea was absurd because "computers don't understand English."
The hardware was the prestigious work, the programming was considered clerical.
That framing took decades to reverse.
