IEEE Spectrum (podcast and video) – From Ballistics to Programming
This is a terrific podcast on the role of women who were computing artillery shell trajectories during World War II and became the first ENIAC programmers.
Stephen Cherry interviews LeAnn Erickson, an associate professor of film and video production at Temple University and an independent filmmaker. She produced and directed “Top Secret Rosies”, a documentary on the first ENIAC programmers.
