Grace Murray Hopper

Anyone who attended “It’s only Logical: Women in Technology, Math, & Science” on Wednesday Oct 5th heard me talk about Grace Hopper, one of my heroines. Here is a great piece of footage which illustrates just what a wonderful character she was, so incredibly smart and important to where we are today in technology. It is a 60 minutes interview from 1982 which was one year after I got my first computer.
