Then they invented the software to run them and went back and wrote the training manuals for others to use. Since there were no training manuals, they had to figure out how the Mark I or the ENIAC computers worked by studying the hardware. Evans, the former futures editor of VICE’s Motherboard and founding editor of its sci-fi imprint, Terraform, tells the fascinating story of how these highly intelligent, mathematically astute women were pioneers in a new field integral to the rise of the computer age.

The Warren Court of the 1960's thus held the base line set by the Supreme Court in the 1870's, at the turn of the century, and in the 1940's.
