A friend noted this URL: https://twitter.com/pickover/status/1503194571114790914 Mary Kenneth Keller (1913 – 1985) was an American Roman Catholic religious sister and the first woman to earn a Ph.D. in computer science in the United States. Ben Bradley replying to @pickover: I recognize that machine, it's a Bi-Tran Six, I used one in college in 1977 for an assembly programming course along with a KIM-1 and DG Nova. Specs (actual core memory and lights tied directly to the hardware registers!) in post #30 https://forum.vcfed.org/index.php?threads/bi-tran-six.3698/ Another friend noted She wasn't JUST the first woman to earn a Ph.D. in computer science. She and a male grad student at Washington University in St. Louis (Irving C. Tang) received the first two Ph.Ds in computer science on the same day. So she's tied for the honor of being the first PERSON to earn a Ph.D. in computer science. https://cacm.acm.org/blogs/blog-cacm/159591-who-earned-first-computer-scienc...
