Women's contributions to computing date back to the early 19th century when Ada Lovelace wrote the first algorithm intended to be processed by a machine. Throughout the decades, women have significantly impacted the development of computing from hardware engineering to software development. Initially, women's roles were often limited to programming and operating computing machinery, tasks that were seen as clerical. However, their critical thinking and problem-solving skills proved invaluable in advancing early computing technologies.
