The ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) was the first computer in history. It weighed 30 tons, occupied 167 square meters and was launched in 1946. This machine initially appeared in the North American army, during the Second World War.

Behind this innovative invention for the time, there were 6 women mathematicians who were erased from history: Jean Jennings Bartik, Marlyn Wescoff Meltzer, Ruth Lichterman Teitelbaum, Betty Snyder Holberton, Frances Bilas Spence, and Kay Mauchly Antonelli. Unfairly, ENIAC was always associated with the project manager: John Mauchly.

Sister Mary Kenneth Keller

Mary Kenneth Keller was the first woman to earn a doctorate in computer science. He received his degree in 1965 from Washington University, in the United States. His contribution to the world of technology was fundamental in the creation of the BASIC programming language - a more accessible language, created to simplify programming and for academic purposes.

Wrote four books on computing and programming, which are still a reference today. Currently, he gives his name to the Computer Science Center and a scholarship from the university where he worked for more than 20 years.

Jean Sammet

Sammet completed his PhD in Computer Science in 1968, three years after Sister Keller. She was the creator of one of the first existing programming languages ​​- FORMAC, used to manipulate non-numeric mathematical formulas. He also worked at IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, one of the most influential companies in the field of technology) for 27 years, where he made major contributions to technological evolution.

Sammet also presided over the Association for Computing Machinery, a non-profit project that supports the use of computing in scientific and academic research. It currently has more than 70 thousand members, making it the largest association in the sector.

Grace Hopper

Grace Hopper was a super important woman in the technology sector. Their contributions to evolution are still used today. Early in her career, she became the first woman to graduate from Yale University with a PhD in mathematics and was also the first female admiral in the United States Navy. With the creation of COBOL, a programming language for commercial databases, still in use, it definitively entered history.

She is the author of the famous phrase “it is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission”, which represents the difficulty that women had (and still have) in entering the technology sector.
