She was back from the era when most computer programmers were female. Until late 1940s, the word "computer" meant a clerk who used did long clculations by hand or adding machine. These were mainly mathematical tables or military operations. Some of these women transitioned into programing jobs when the first programmable digital computers began in the late 1940s. Programming was either switchboard rewiring or punch cards/tape then.
