The story of Grace Hopper described in the article and in the video emphasizes something obvious but which is uncomfortable to highlight, this is the fact that women's achievements have been overshadowed and although they exist, they have been less due to the different historical trajectory that men and women have had and because of the late incorporation of women to many professional activities and even issues that reach the legal framework designed by men that historically exclude women. It is for this reason that the story of "The Queen of Code" is inspiring and stands out the important role of women in technology,
It is very devastating to see how talented people in this case Grace Hopper, was so underestimated and held back in her attempt to bring knowledge to humanity, simply because she was a woman. Despite that, she became the mother of Cobol, becoming an expert in an area that was unknown back then, with the proposal of Cobol becoming the universal language.
She was an admirable woman, since from a young age she went against what was pre-established by society, fought for change and achieved it. Even today it is very unfortunate that women are still being judged for dedicating themselves to engineering or that it is thought that careers such as computer systems are more for men, I observe this due to the lack of women in the career.
Definetely, Grace Hopper is an inspiration, change the world of programming and it is important to know her story just as we know Alan Turing,
