I founded and run the ENIAC Programmers Project -- that researched
and now works to tell the story of the six young women who
programmed the first all-electronic, digital computer, as part of
a secret WWII project in the US. When the ENIAC was unveiled to
the press and the public in 1946, after the War, the hardware
engineers and Army officers (all men) were introduced, but the
women (the programmers were not). One of the reasons we think
girls shy away from computing is the lack of role models -- and we
are trying to bring these invisible women into the light! <br>

<div>Interesting that you
mention that. Some women
on this list are working
very hard to share
rolemodels in technology
with girls and young
women - to assure them
that computing and
technology careers lie
within their future --
and that we need them
badly!!!<br>

<div>Anyway the problem
is when women are...
What... 6,
10-year-old. i mean,
when they are girls
with many options but
get shown only some
(and science/computing
hardly among the
latter)<br>
