(1906 - 1992) Rear Admiral, U.S. Navy
"Rear
Admiral Dr. Grace Murray Hopper was a remarkable woman
who grandly rose to the challenges of programming the
first computers. During her lifetime as a leader in

to the use of sophisticated compilers. She believed

a good reason to continue to do so." Grace
