Consider finding an expert on t.he history of women in computing, regardless of their demographic characteristics, who can give a good informative talk on the subject of "women in computing".

Good point, Bill, and it brings to mind Kathy Kleiman who has done a lot of research on the women who were first to be assigned as programmers on the ENIAC. She interviewed them while they were still alive and produced a short-form documentary film on them. While I wouldn't want to speak for Kathy, I'm sure she'd be happy to do a talk and a screening of the film. BLS
