Summary Note
The inspiring story of Grace Hopper--the boundary-breaking woman who revolutionised computer science--is told told in an engaging picture book biography. Who was Grace Hopper? A software tester, workplace jester, cherished mentor, ace inventor, avid reader, naval leader AND rule breaker, chance taker, and troublemaker. Acclaimed picture book author Laurie Wallmark ('Ada Byron Lovelace' and the 'Thinking machine') once again tells the riveting story of a trailblazing woman. Grace Hopper coined the term 'computer bug' and taught computers to 'speak English'. Throughout her life, Hopper succeeded in doing what no one had ever done before. Delighting in difficult ideas and in defying expectations, the insatiably curious Hopper truly was 'Amazing Grace' and a role model for science- and math-minded girls and boys. With a wealth of witty quotes, and richly detailed illustrations, this book brings Hopper's incredible accomplishments to life." - Publisher website.
"Meet Grace Hopper: the woman who revolutionized computer coding. An ace inventor, groundbreaker, and recipient of the Presidential medal of Freedom, she coined the term "computer bug" and developed the program that taught computers to recognize words and not just endless 0's and 1's. Grace Hopper tells the inspirational story of this brilliant woman who had a passion for science and math and the firm belief that new solutions to problems were not found by those who said "We've always done it this way." -- Book jacket.
