Grace Hopper, the Eniac programmers and "Secret Rosies" are fascinating people but I fear many cannot appear because they're no longer living :-0 However, Melissa Pierce's documentary "Born with Curiosity: The Story of Grace Murray Hopper" seems to be a work in progress, with a stage-show https://bornwithcuriosity.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melissa_Pierce https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjx49LtuSFY -- jeff jonas

Yes. In this case I would invite an historian and/or author like Kathy Kleiman or Melissa Pierce.

Great suggestion! I will see where this documentary is at and if she is interested in speaking.
