Grace Hopper

Submitted by Oak on Fri, 02/25/2011 - 9:53pm.

I'm choosing Grace Hopper, mathematician, computer scientist, and first female Rear Admiral of the US Navy. She went to Vassar (yeah women's colleges!) for undergrad and got her master's degree and Ph.D. from Yale. She was teaching at Vassar when World War II started. She joined the US Naval Reserves, where she was assigned to the computer projects. This started an interest in computer science that led her to making major and important changes in the field.
