Great book about 6 women who were tasked with the job of programming the first computers. This is a great historical novel about women who were overlooked before this.
Thanks to Netgalley for an ARC.

I had no idea that the history of computer development was so closely intertwined with military history. And I was surprised to learn that women were deeply involved and so commonly overlooked in the history books. I’ve been considering a career in the technology industry and this is even more motivation to find my place in history.

This book covers the lives of the 6 women involved in the beginning of the ENIAC computer and though I got lost in their personal stories since there are so many of them, I do appreciate that the author took the time to get to know these titans of history and to make sure their story is not lost to time.

I really enjoyed this historical account of the women who paved the way of American computer programming. As someone who tok computer science courses in college, I am very sad that I did not know about the great work these women did. This account managed to describe the world of programming in a way that was accessible to the non programmer and that is a mark of a great history in my book. I will be recommending this to people who enjoy stories about women, people who like science and this looking for a unique subject to learn about.
