Sister Mary Kenneth Keller
Took vows in 1940, and while doing a PhD - the first woman to get one in Comp Sci - ended up in Dartmouth College, implementing the first version of BASIC.
Wow, I didn't expect to find a Sr. Keller reference on DEV!
I went to Clarke, where she founded the Computer Science department (and there's a building named after here there now).
Lol a nerdy nun, thanks for thr fact!
