Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer & the Women Computing Pioneers

Winning World War II required an all-out effort. Thousands of women on the home front answered their country's call to join the military, industry and the civil service. In 1943, the U.S. Army recruited seven women mathematicians to set up and operate the Army's newest top-secret weapon: the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC). These unsung heroes wired the electrical connections that enabled the world's first electronic, digital computer to complete 300 calculations per second. In doing so, they built a framework for the field of computer programming.
