This is the story of a woman who defied societal expectations and pursued her passion for science and technology. After earning a degree in mathematics, she landed a job as a computer programmer at a large corporation. Despite facing challenges in the male-dominated world of computing, she quickly proved herself to be a talented programmer and became one of the most respected and accomplished programmers in the world.

She pioneered new programming languages and helped develop some of the earliest computers. Her most significant contribution to the world of computing was her work on a new type of computer language that would eventually become known as COBOL. This language was designed to be easy for non-technical people to understand and use, which meant that businesses and organizations could take advantage of computers without needing to hire highly specialized programmers.

Thanks to her work on COBOL, computers became more accessible and widely used than ever before. She was also known for her mentoring and advocacy work, recognizing the importance of encouraging more women and people from diverse backgrounds to pursue careers in technology.The woman's legacy continues to inspire and shape the world today. Her name was revealed at the end to be Grace Hopper, a pioneer in the world of computing, a mentor and advocate for future generations, and an inspiration to us all.
