Its crazy awesome how many revolutions in computing were made of women of (notable) obscurity (meaning their inventions/contributions were not as widely publisized as they should have been. FFS Madame Curie should have inspired a heck-ton more STEM females... But, there are some foundational corner-stones of computing and technology that have been created by females.

Not that your statements are untrue, or I've anything against women or Ms. Betts, but... The article makes it clear that Mary was nothing remotely resembling an inventor, discoverer, or Madam Curie. Her job was very dull, repetitive clerical work. The men mowing the lawns and replacing burned-out light bulbs were of similar skill. Mary is newsworthy now because she was one of the last survivors of some ~80-years-ago history.
