The "ENIAC Girls" - First female devs

Six young women were recruited in 1944 to program the forerunner of modern computers, ENIAC: Betty Snyder Holberton, Jean Jennings Barik, Kay McNulty Mauchly Antonelli, Marlyn Wescoff Meltzer, Ruth Lichterman Teitelbaum and Frances Bilas Spence. The “ENIAC girls” became the first female programmers in history. Their contributions were largely overlooked, forgotten or ignored until 2013 when a report by Kathy Kleiman, The Computers¹, brings to light the contribution these female pioneers have made to computing.
