14. I know about the posthumous pass, but even today the woman has never
received the recognition she's due.

I could and have done a whole rant about blaming the victim and the glass ceiling trap vis-a-vis the military. Suffice to say, Adm Grace Hopper is a perfect example. She should have been running the US Navy's R&D after Rickover left, but thanks to a butt load of restrictions she was in her late seventies before she even received the grade she earned and deserved.

And I submit Amazing Grace qualified for a Nobel. She's the grandmother of our cyber world.
