I gave some thought to a woman I admire in technology, but no one in particular comes to mind. Its a shame ... right? I think we need to do more education about women in technology. So I'd like to mention some women I know in computing PhD programs (or working in IT) that personally motivate me.
She is mainly known for having written a description of Charles Babbage's early mechanical general-purpose computer, the analytical engine. She is today appreciated as the "first programmer" since she was writing programs—that is, manipulating symbols according to rules—for a machine that Babbage had not yet built. She also foresaw the capability of computers to go beyond mere calculating or number-crunching while others, including Babbage himself, focused only on these capabilities.
