It's frustrating to hear that so much was cut. I really enjoyed the stories of women in tech, but those stories didn't seem to support the argument that there was a strong throughline of women influencing the direction of computing and technology. Aside from Grace Hooper and the Eniac Six, none of the stories really connected with the others in concrete ways (there were thematic connections, of course).

Wow, doesn't everybody know Grace Hopper?

I probably should have known Paul Baran (as part of BBN), but I didn't.
