The pioneering women of high tech.
In a prior (business) life I had the pleasure of working with a wonderful woman, trained as a mathematician, who entered computing at it's frontier days.
This was at a major fortune 15 company. She trained all her future bosses (young self-impressed men), and was given all the department's "failed" staff, who amazingly became high contributors under her benignly understated leadership. Her many contributions went largely unrecognized until she retired and was offered the opportunity to design the curriculum for either of two prestigious universities' new college of business computing. An aside, her husband and she loved to bicycle through the Alps and Rockies even into their retirement ::hp::
