Mother of Compilers

  Women in technology has always been a very complicated topic, it is typical to see women outstand in many fields, but for some reason, their interest in technology related fields seems to be non existent, this is why this subject has been so interesting, I believe the fact that many complex cases have been solved by women is very interesting, and left me questioning how much better it could be if more women start selecting IT related careers.

In the last decades, most of the news reflected only the part of the work that involve men, this left an stereotype that states that only men can achieve success in a technological career, which is entirely not true, the problem is, the stereotype has already done serious damage and this reflects directly in the amount of women studying IT or engineering related careers, although, nowadays there has been a lot of efforts to try and eliminate this stereotype and have more women to select this type of careers.

I found Grace Hopper as a true inspiration, she had to overcome so many step backs just for he fact of being a women, but she didn't set for the status quo, she instead decided to overcome and defy anything that has been previously imposed by society, even the example of the office clock, I believe it is a perfect example of how she decided to not settle for anything and instead try to achieve the impossible.

Not only her mind, but her personality and the charm that she has is also something truly admirable, combining both the wisdom and the charm to achieve new things and to create what she believed was better and I do believe that is something extremely admirable.

I really enjoyed this subject and I believe it is something very important in the actual world.
