There is no demand for women engineers, as such, as there are for women doctors; but there is always a demand for anyone who can do a good piece of work.

Edith Clarke was the first woman to enroll and obtain her MSc. degree in Electrical Engineering at MIT in 1918. She worked with AT&T and GE, and filed for a patent for a "graphical calculator" in 1921. It was to be used to solve electric power transmission problems. Later in life, she worked as the first woman to teach engineering at the University of Texas.

Joan Winters did many things throughout her life. She started at Cornell University working as the coordinator for User Support. while thre, she implmeneted SPINDEX II applications for another university department, the Department of Manuscripts and University Archives. After this, she took a position as a scientific programer in SLAC Computer Services. She was also active in SHARE, an IBM computer user group. This led to her becoming a member of SHARE's Human Factors Project, where she educated members of SHARE and IBM about the important of human factors in the design of hardware and software. She later became vice chair of the ASCII / EPCDIC Committee.

An Austrian actress and inventor, Hedy Lamarr coinvented an early technique for spread spectrum communications and frequency hopping. This paved the way for today's wireless communications. At the Electronic Frontier Foundation's Pioneer Awards in 1997, she and her partner, George Antheil, were honoured with special awards for their "trail-blazing development of a technology that has become a key component of wireless data systems."

Kay McNulty (later Kay Antonelli) was hired fresh out of college by Aberdeen Proving Grounds. She was officially a "computer", a person who computed ballistics trajectories. Though many of the other women computers ended up dropping out due to the pressure and difficulty of the work, but Kay stuck with it. She became one of the first six programmers of the ENIAC. Even after she stopped direct work on the ENIAC, she continued to give talks and interviews. She, along with the other six original programmers of the ENIAC, was inducted into the Women in Technology International Hall of Fame in 1997.

One of the first programmers of the ENIAC, Lichterman graduated with a B.Sc in Mathematics and worked with ballistics trajectories. She trained the next group of ENIAC programmers after her, and died in 1986. She was posthumously inducted into the Women in Technology International Hall of Fame in 1997, along with the other original ENIAC programmers.

Hopper is one of the most well-known female computer scientists, as well as a Navy Admiral. She was one of the first programmers of the Harvard Mark I computer, developed the first compiler for a computer programming language, popularized the idea of machine-independent programming languages, and developed COBOL. The U.S. Navy destroyer USS Hopper is named for her, as is the Cray XE6 Hopper supercomputer. Hopper was also the originator of the term "bug" for a problem in a computer. Bug was much more literal back then, though.
