Ada Lovelace Day..

[fencer_john]

its Ada Lovelace Day... post about a prominent female scientist, or woman excelling in technology....... in your blog, LJ, etc...

My pick? For both the work she's done, and the obstacles she has overcome in her professional and personal life, it has to be Dr. Lynn Conway.

Here's a few of sources about her:

• An article at Freebase,
• Her entry in Wikipedia,
• Dr. Conway's website,
• An archive of much of her work in VLSI design,
• a podcast she did for a British ezine for this year's Ada Lovelace Day.,
