Daughter of Lord Byron, she's often credited as the first computer
programmer. Her work on

contains notes of the first machine-implemented algorithm.

Code named "Project PX" and funded by the United States Army, the first
general-purpose computer was the Electronic Numerical Integrator And
Computer (ENIAC). It was developed at the University of Pennsylvania's
Moore School of Electrical Engineering.<audio>

The ENIAC programmers included a number of women: Jean Bartik, Marlyn
Wescoff Meltzer, Ruth Lichterman Teitelbaum, Kay McNulty Mauchly
Antonelli, Frances Spence, and Frances Elizabeth "Betty" Holberton.
Despite their groundbreaking work, the Army never released the names of
the women who worked on the ENIAC, and they were largely forgotten until
Kathy Kleiman discovered their story in 1985.

<p>
Hungarian-born Rózsa Péter studied number theory and poetry before
becoming interested in the idea that would become recursion theory. She
published her paper "Recursive Functions" in 1951, but it wasn't until
the mid-50's that she began to apply her work to the realm of computers.

event_startdate="[1952,null,null]"

<p>
In her career with the Navy, Rear Admiral Grace Hopper worked on the
first commercial computer (UNIVAC) and laid the groundwork for the
programming language COBOL. But her most notable invention was the
compiler, which can transform a source language into binary code. (In
other words, it can translate the code you and I write into 0s and 1s.)
She developed it in 1952, but she said "Nobody would touch it. They told
me computers could only do arithmetic."<audio>

<p>
One of the first African-American women to earn a Ph.D in mathematics,
Evelyn Boyd Granville focused on aeronautics and space during her
career. In 1956, she worked with NASA and IBM on Project Mercury, the
first manned space flight. She worked with NASA again a few years later
on the Apollo Project.

<p>
One of the first women (if not the first woman) to earn a Ph.D in
computer science, Sister Mary Kenneth Keller also contributed to the
development of the BASIC language during her time at Dartmouth College.
She then founded the computer science department at Clarke College and
directed it for the next 20 years.<audio>

<p>
A professor at Cambridge Computer Laboratory, Spärck Jones was
interested in natural language processing and information retrieval. In
1972, she introduced the concept of inverse document frequency, which
most search engines still rely on.

<p>
Often called "the Mother of the Internet," Radia Perlman's work on
spanning tree protocol enabled the development of modern networking. She
holds more than 100 patents, which is what mothers do best.
