- Jennifer S. Light is Professor of Science, Technology and Society at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Light's research investigates the work of technical experts in the political process, with special interest in these figures' influences on US urban history. Light serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of Communication and the IEEE Annals of the History of Computing. An essay by Light from 1999, "When Computers Were Women", discusses an aspect of the history of computers — specifically that women were not credited for their work on the ENIAC computer, which was America's first electronic computer to automate ballistics computations during World War II. The women built the machine which replaced them, yet their contributions to it were kept out of history. (en)
