Today is Ada Lovelace Day, A Celebration of Women in Science and Technology

Today is Ada Lovelace Day, and bloggers all over the world are posting about the great women of science and technology and their accomplishments. The central link, http://findingada.com/about/, is where you can find information about Lovelace, the writer of the first computer program and hook-up with other celebrants.
I found out about this event too late to write my own blogpost, but my favorite woman in science in Rosalind Franklin, the woman who played a major role in discovering the structure of DNA. She has never been given the credit she deserves, and died before Watson and Crick won the Nobel Prize for the discovery, which surely should have been shared with her posthumously.
