Mother of Compilers

This blog has seemed to me the most interesting of all blogs that I've read, find out how women have had a presence in the computer industry along the years is a lot of pride (without sounding feminist) for the women which we study engineering and more knowing that she was a good programmer.

I suppose that at that time, she faced very complicated situations, since the machismo was much more present and the opportunities of the women were scarce and worse still in majors that were said to be for man and where the women did not have opportunity because it was heavy tasks And difficult (intellectually speaking) that women could not perform.

In my short experience, I have suffered a bit of discrimination against women who decide to study careers that are said of men. Often the discrimination comes from the classmates, other times has been by teachers, and finally and where is more present is in the workplace or work area.

However thanks to the times have changed, now women we have more opportunity because many of the big companies are focused at workforce equity, so for the women that we are studying a career where there are almost no women, you are more probably that we get a good job (I heard a woman teacher say this) since there's a law or I do not know what it is, but establishes that large companies must have a certain percentage of women working and another percentage of men.

It would be interesting if stories such as these were told at career fairs to motivate more women to do what they really like and, to identify with women like Grace Brewster.  We have to set us strong goals, challenges that allow us to know what we really are able. It could be that the next programming language is also developed by a woman.
