 == The Women who Programmed ENIAC == 

 ""Two women operating ENIAC"" is all we have to say about the women who programmed ENIAC? 
 The source site for the image (http://ftp.arl.mil/ftp/historic-computers/) captions it as follows: 

 Two women operating the ENIAC's main control panel while the machine was still located at the Moore School. ""U.S. Army Photo"" from the archives of the ARL Technical Library. Left: Betty Jennings (Mrs. Bryant) Right: Frances Bilas (Mrs. Spence) 

  
 We should at least mention the two best-known ENIAC programmers, Betty (Snyder) Holberton and Jean (Jennings) Bartik.
