She is one of the most amazing women I have ever met. She did more for the advancement of computing than most people realize. While she is credited as the Mother of COBOL (note to Steve Jordan, COBOL, like FORTRAN, is all caps all the time), her innovations extend far beyond the simple creation of program flow control and nested data structures. These are the fundamental components in all computer languages today. They did not always exist. Credit Grace.
