Celebrating women's "important contributions to history" feels so weird in contexts like these. They were human computers, following very specific instructions sequence by sequence. Why would this be something to celebrate? Maybe I'm just extrapolating from the many similar stories from Bletchley Park. Still feels really weird to me, though. And before you accuse me of misogny: The reason I point this out is that there's surely more interesting historical news involving women (if gender is suddenly a critical factor) than people essentially doing mindless drudgery over and over again some time in the past?
