Kathleen McNulty Mauchly Antonelli,one of the earliest computer programmmers and widow of ENIAC and UNIVAC co-inventor John Mauchly died last night at age 85.
She and other women mathmeticians were recruited to work on the secret ENIAC computer during WW2. Since then Antonelli contributed to the understanding of early computer history through speeches and articles.
I am one of 29 grandchildren of this entirely remarkable woman.
