Grace Hopper (1906 - 1992)
American computer scientist, mathematician, and
United States Navy Rear Admiral;
a pioneer of computer programming, she devised the theory of
machine-independent programming languages, and created
FLOW-MATIC and COBOL;

I remember seeing a piece about her on 60 Minutes in the 1980s. Interesting woman.
