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 <http://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2014/10/06/345799830/the-forgotten-female-programmers-who-created-modern-tech> link as compared with his *ENIAC in Action <https://mitpress.mit.edu/ENIAC>* 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 <http://sites.ieee.org/sv-techhist/files/2017/04/Presentation20170320-ENIAC_Haigh.pdf> and whose video is here <https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3MXnVUbT1wSmXwaiHVmtPu6mMUMBjt-d>. Women pioneered computer programming. Then men took their industry over.
