I was privileged to attend a gathering, meet, and hear Grace Hopper speak in Lubbock, TX in the mid ‘80s. What a brilliant mind she had. And what a commanding person who knew her stuff! As absolutely amazing personality! She took crap from nobody. The military lost a lot when she retired.

It was men who led this computer revolution

That is just so much bull shiite. You'd better learn a little bit before you spout off. Women like Grace Hopper contributed a lot to the computer revolution in the trenches, back when computers took up entire floors of buildings. A lot of men learned from her. Give credit where credit is due. Both men and women contributed. She was a true pioneer who actually did something without clinging to the coattails of someone else.
