Very much enjoying by - this is the story of the ENIAC 6. I have read a good bit about but this is the first account that centers the women who brought it to life.

In a refreshing change of perspective, Mauchly, Eckert, Goldstine, von Neumann etc are all in rather peripheral roles and only appear from time to time.
