I bought this video for my Mom who is one of the early pioneers as well. Imagine our surprise to find her photo on the cover... The video does a great job depicting what the early days of computing were like and the role that women played. Thanks for doing this LeAnn!

What a great video to show the role of women in mathematics in history. At a time when many girls still don't see themselves as math people, everything we can do to build their math confidence counts!

The true story of the female mathematicians who were critical to the war effort during World War II. Their skill saved countless Allied lives. And yet they were snubbed when the reporters came around after the war was over.
