Women in Computing
In this sample timeline, we’ll walk you through what TimelineJS can do by looking at some of the more important contributions women have made to computer science.
December 10, 1815 — November 27, 1852
Ada Lovelace
Women have been programming since before it was a thing. Take Ada Lovelace: Daughter of Lord Byron, she’s often credited as the first computer programmer. Her work on Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine contains notes of the first machine-implemented algorithm.
June 5, 1943
The First Computer
Code named «Project PX» and funded by the United States Army, the first general-purpose computer was the Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer (ENIAC). It was developed at the University of Pennsylvania’s Moore School of Electrical Engineering.
July 1943 — 1946
...And the women who made it work
The ENIAC programmers included a number of women: Jean Bartik, Marlyn Wescoff Meltzer, Ruth Lichterman Teitelbaum, Kay McNulty Mauchly Antonelli, Frances Spence, and Frances Elizabeth «Betty» Holberton. Despite their groundbreaking work, the Army never released the names of the women who worked on the ENIAC, and they were largely forgotten until Kathy Kleiman discovered their story in 1985.
