I only ever 'played' with it on a Burroughs MCP system - I met Moore and Rather then.

I know Bess Rather worked at Kitts Peak and I think Arizona State. That was back in the days when there were plenty of women in computing.

Since the advent of the home computers their numbers (proportionately) have dwindled dramatically.

Prior to the early 1990's most of my 'managers' were women. Then came the age of the 'geeks' and their 'Master of Bugger All' damagers [sic].
