We're calling this season a grasshopper in very tall grass, and it's all about Clara Don von Neumann.

Clary, as she was called by friends, was one of the world's first computer programmers.

I've been writing about computers for a really long time.

More than 30 years, in fact.

I even wrote a history of the Internet in 1996 called Where Wizards Stay Up Late. And the Wizards? All men. I've been on this

name this past year, and I drew a blank. How had I missed her? When I asked some big hitters in the

computer science world about her, they all had the same response. Who? I couldn't shake this

feeling that here was this truly lost woman of computing, who was nonetheless connected to very well-known histories

and people. She was involved in nuclear weapons research. She worked for Los Alamos. She coded for the
