∙ 7y agoThat depends on what you mean by "computer" and what you mean by "created".
The Antikythera mechanism is an ancient (mechanical) computer dating from around 100 BC. We don't know who made it.
Some people will give Charles Babbage the honor. There's only one problem with that: Babbage designed a computer, but didn't actually build it.
Others point to the Atanasoff-Berry Computer (no prize for guessing the two people most prominent in the development of that), or ENIAC, or the Pascaline (a mechanical computer invented by Blaise Pascal), or the Z3, or Colossus.

∙ 15y agoI suspect you are thinking of Ada Lovelace (Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace), only daughter of the poet Lord Byron. Born 10 December 1815.
She assisted Charles Babbage and wrote a description of the Analytical Engine, Babbage's early mechanical general-purpose computer. She is today regarded as the first 'programmer' because she was writing 'programs' -- that is, manipulating symbols according to rules -- for the Analytical Engine which, unfortunately, was never built.
Ada Lovelace also predicted that computers would progress beyond mere calculating or number-crunching.
In 1953 her notes were republished after having been forgotten since her death in 1852. The Analytical Engine has now been recognised as an early model for a computer, and Lovelace's notes as a description of a computer and software.

∙ 13y agoSince 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.

∙ 11y agoThat is difficult to say depending on your definition of computer. Is it analog, digital, programmable, automatic, manual, etc.? Was it actually built, or do machines like Babbage's Analytical Engine that were never built count?

What was the name of the woman who helped develop computer software for the Dept of Defense?
Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper (December 9, 1906 – January 1, 1992) was an American computer scientist and United States Naval officer. A pioneer in the field, she was one of the first programmers of the Harvard Mark I computer, and she developed the first compiler for a computer programming language. She is also credited with popularizing the term "debug" when her associates discovered a moth stuck in a computer relay which impeding operation (whereupon she remarked that they were "debugging" the system). The remains of the moth can be found in the group's log book at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C.
