Below is a link to an interesting article on what are called the first programmers (link courtesy r/programming). Unfortunately, women were booted out of the programming sector once the world realized how complex the job was. Now, 50 years later, we no longer tell women they can't be intellectuals and yet software development is still a male-dominated career path. Maybe the "Computer Girls" will make a comeback. Maybe Cosmo will have articles about software aimed at visionary young women. Just imagine the right answers to the sex quizzes leading you away from the brawny athlete and instead to the programming dreamboat!
