In this 1955 photograph from the Burroughs Corporation collection (CBI 90), a woman is shown hard at work assembling computer hardware. In many promotional photographs from computer companies of the mid-20th century, women are portrayed either as bystanders or, at best, as passive users of a computer product. However, it is clear from this photograph that some women also played an integral role as creators of computing equipment.
