Happy birthday to trailblazing American computer scientist Frances Elizabeth Allen (1932 – 2020) who made foundational contributions to optimizing compilers, optimizing programs and parallel computing. She was the first woman to become an IBM Fellow, where she worked from 1957 to 2002 and as an emeritus fellow afterwards. She was the first woman to win the Turing Prize.

For the #printerSolstice2425 prompt oxygen: my #linocut of Claudine Picardet (1735-1820) #chemist, #mineralogist, meteorologist & perhaps most importantly, translator of latest science from Swedish, English, German, Italian & possibly Latin to French at the height of the chemical revolution.
She married barrister & member of the Académie royale des sciences, arts, et belles-lettres de Dijon, Claude Picardet in 1755, her entry into 🧵
Another unknown birthday: Amongst the earliest recorded woman in #mathematics, Hypatia lived during the 4th century AD in Alexandria, Egypt, which was part of the Roman Empire.
