As far as I can tell, the original authors in 1955 clearly went out of their way to give her proper credit at the time.

Then, 50 years later proper credit became she should be acknowledged as co-author.

Not quite the machismo-fueled oppression story I was expecting.

Why do I fear there is at least one he-programmer whose contribution to important papers was never acknowledged at all.

Today, his name is likely Claude, given the average PhD's programming prowess.
