Frances (Fran) Allen, a computer engineer and scientist, who
worked at IBM, said: "I thought about the women who had done some
very amazing things that have not been recognized, even by their
peers." [<i>Coders at Work</i> by Peter Seibel, p.514, ISBN
978-1-4302-1948-4]<br>
<br>
Basically, she says that in 50s and 60s women at IBM were making
fundamental discoveries and breakthroughs. She continues: "There
was a woman who essentially was the inventor of multiprogramming
and credit was taken by somebody who eventually became a Turing
Award winner." That how it was at that time.<br>
<br>
I mean women were in fact contributing to computer science and
industry significantly.<br>
<br>
Perhaps it's time to begin to think about a rule that the board
shall include at least two women? And in future 4/3?<br>
