Rediscovering WWII's Top-Secret Computing 'Rosies'

Posted by Roblimo on from the better-65-years-late-than-never dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Women were recruited to do ballistics calculations and program computers during WWII. Half a century later, their work is only beginning to get recognition." Some of that recognition is in the form of a documentary film released in 2010 titled Top Secret Rosies.

    Women aren't being discriminated in the workplace - at least not in the way that feminists think..... it's just that they are a pain in the arse to work with/for and subsequently aren't as successfull.
