Why Grace? Because during World War II, she joined the American Navy and, thanks to her impressive brain, was able to understand the inner workings of the Harvard Mark 1, one of the earliest computers, which occupied an entire room, and explain it to others in an understandable language. She is widely known as the Mother of Computing.
