Meet Grace Hopper:
the woman who revolutionized computer coding.An ace inventor, groundbreaker, and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, she coined the term "computer bug" and developed the program that taught computers to recognize words and not just endless 0's and 1's. Grace Hopper tells the inspirational story of this brilliant woman who had a passion for science and math and the firm belief that new solutions to problems were not found by those who said, "We've always done it this way."
