March is Women’s History Month. Today we honor: Grace Hopper. Grace Hopper was a computer programmer for the navy during World War II, where she programmed the Mark I computer. After the war, Hopper led the team that designed the first compiler, as well as contributed to the creation of the programing language, COBOL. At age 79, Hopper was the oldest serving officer in the military. She was also the first woman to receive the National Medal of Technology.
