The article has evidence for something that I've long suspected -- that the opportunities for women in math and science actually got worse after World War 2 than it was before the war. The article mentions that more women got Ph.D.'s in math in the 30s than in the 50s, even though many more Ph.D.'s were issued in the 50s. It shows that progress is far from inevitable.
Terribly misleading post title - that is a quote by Grace Hopper about Ada Lovelace, not a quote about Grace Hopper herself. The title is "Grace Hopper, computing pioneer" and it's from 2014.
