#19: Grace Hopper
Another woman whose achievements have been overshadowed by those of less talented and less impressive men simply because of their charisma and proximity to the proverbial plate. Countless women across every field of human activity have encountered the experience of having their hard work overtaken by that of men.
And some of those women who we’ve never heard of are simply exceptional. I mean, being the first female Rear Admiral and developing two computer languages… Those are two achievements that I could probably never approach, even if I were to dedicate my entire life to reaching those lofty goals.
