Grace has a warship named after her! If it wasn't for her work on computer programming, these missiles would not be able to launch.

Grace graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Vassar College in 1928 with a bachelor's degree in mathematics and physics.

She came back here to teach math in 1931 and was promoted to associate professor in 1941.

Grace fought to enlist in the Navy in 1944. She was told she was too thin and too old at age 34. But she knew it was her duty.

She retired twice: once in 1966 and again in 1971, but was always called back to active service for her invaluable computer knowledge. She was instrumental in developing and using COBOL (COmmon Business-Oriented Language). In other words, how computers "talk". It is still in use to this day.
