While doing research, Kleiman came across a photo of women next to an early computer. Another researcher dismissed the women as models, but Kleiman dug deeper and found the stories of six women computer programmers who were vital to the US government‘s development and programming of ENIAC. She shares how these WWII pioneers changed the course of technology and the world. I am SO GLAD this important piece of history was uncovered and shared!
