- i promise this is the last i will bother you - but Hedy Lamarr deserves a mention - womenshistory.org/education-re - Her story is a film waiting to be made !

@jpaulgibson @kathol @lisamelton How could I forget to list Hedy?! She truly lived a life worth putting on the big screen.

And not in the least bothersome, thank you!

No need to wait for the film to be created and put on the big screen. It exists, was on the big screen and is worth seeing.

@hackhitchin @jpaulgibson @kathol @lisamelton This is such a great day because I'm learning so much about so many other women or about other resources about them! Thank you!

@ljrk @hackhitchin @kathol @lisamelton - thanks to you for highlighting the problem of women being written out of ((computer) science) history. There are many exceptional women in computing, today, who also deserve our thanks. A few examples that come to mind are Emily M Bender, Timnit Gebru, Molly White, Cat Hicks, and Amy J. Ko.

@ljrk @kathol @lisamelton i forgot about sister mary kenneth keller onwisconsin.uwalumni.com/on-al … sorry for disturbing you, if she was already mentioned

@jpaulgibson @kathol @lisamelton I don't think she was! I've already used the forms of the notabletechwoman GSheets to add some more women and I think we need to carry on that work – so many yet to go!

@ljrk @jpaulgibson @lisamelton I'm thinking about adding a Moodle course for my students, keep them coming!

Computing was begun by Ada, "actually . . . " began shortly thereafter.
