Before Computer Science Became a Boys' Club, Margaret Hamilton Wrote the Code
Original: Before Computer Science Became a Boys’ Club, Margaret Hamilton Wrote the Code
A New York Times feature revisits the career of Margaret Hamilton, the software engineer whose code made the Apollo moon landings possible, at a time when programming was not yet a male-dominated field. The piece examines how her pioneering work at NASA helped define software engineering before computer science became a boys' club, prompting renewed discussion of women's overlooked roles in computing history.
Why now: Renewed interest in the history of women in technology and how programming's gender balance shifted over time.
