Mary Coombs

Mary Coombs (born 1929) was one of the first people, and believed to be first woman, to work on the LEO computers.[1] Her father believed in women's education and her sister worked in microbiology and bacteriology. Unlike her sister, and unlike others in computing, she did not have a background in math or science.[2] The National Museum of Computing mentions her.[3]
