Hal (Harold) Abelson is a man :) If you haven't already, shame on you; You should check him & Jerald Jay Sussman's EPIC 1986 SICP course for (I think) HP employees (SICP: Structure and Interpretations of Computer Programs). videos are available here: http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/classes/6.001/abelson-sussman-lectures/ http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/classes/6.001/abelson-sussma... [EDIT]: I notices that you've apparently listed male computer scientists (it's 5:23am here). But I won't remove my comment as the SICP link might be useful for others.

I wasn't trying to find a massive list, droithomme asked "where are the technical contributions" by women in computing, not "who has the biggest list". Really, all I needed to write down was Grace Hopper. Compilers being fairly useful in the field.

  Did everyone miss the point of that comment? Most of the names on my list are not women.

    I know they are not. I was commenting on that. I assumed that you posted a big list to demonstrate the lack of women in CS. [edit] reading over, I could have been a lot more clear. I should have said "which group" rather than "who"
