Future Prospects
Women have been an integral part of the computing movement right from its start. Everyone who has done an introductory computer science course in school or college would know that the world's first conceptual programmer was Lady Ada Lovelace. The original programmers for the world's first electronic computer - the ENIAC were six women - Kay McNulty, Betty Jean Jennings, Betty Snyder, Marlyn Wescoff, Fran Bilas and Ruth Lichterman. In addition, the complete technical description for the ENIAC was also written by a woman - Adele Goldstine. Grace Hopper, widely known as one of the first programmers of the Harvard Mark I also developed the first compiler for a computer programming language.
