Here is a Women of the ENIAC story. I'd like to hear Thomas Haigh's response to this story, particularly re: the Walter Isaacson NPR story link as compared with his ENIAC in Action book.

A reminder that Thomas gave a wonderful talk about the Women programmers of the ENIAC - and particularly about the "Other Women" who actually built the ENIAC - for the IEEE Silicon Valley History Committee in March, whose slides are here and whose video is here.

Women pioneered computer programming. Then men took their industry over.
