When I first worked with computers 50 years ago, in the UK, women dominated the field. With all the lucrative jobs in science going to men, what else to do with a math degree? Sadly, men took over when they discovered the computer field, too, paid well... I hope the conference tells some of the long history of women's significant contributions to the field.
