no. John Atanasof did. Berry was the grad. student that worked with him to build and test it.
berry had nothing to do with ENIAC

It was John Vincent Atanasoff and Clifford Berry.
John Vincent Atanasoff & Clifford Berry.
Dr. John V. Atanasoff and his assistant Clifford Berry built the first electronic digital computer. It was called the Atanasoff-Berry-Computer (ABC)
Clifford Berry was a pioneering American engineer and inventor, best known for his contributions to the development of early electronic computers. He collaborated with John Atanasoff to create the Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC) in the late 1930s, which is considered one of the first electronic computers. Berry's work focused on the use of binary numbers and electronic switching, laying foundational concepts for modern computing. His innovations significantly influenced subsequent computer technology and engineering practices.

Since a computer can only be invented once, you would be better off asking who was the first person to invent computers. In 1939, John V. Atanasoff and Clifford Berry developed the Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC) at Iowa State University, which was regarded as the first electronic digital computer. So, in short, it was a man, not a woman, which is understandable based on the attitude towards women in the workplace and in school in the early 20th century and earlier. It would be very hard for anybody, man or woman, to invent something when they were not allowed to attend college.
The Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC) was designed and built between 1937 and 194 by John Atanasoff and Clifford Berry at the University of Iowa. It is recognized as the first automatic electronic digital computer.
