Her establishments in computer science were creating COBOL, the first computer language. COBOL is still used by many computers. She was invited to join a Pentagon team. She also created the first compiler. She even went to Harvard to help Howard Aiken with his computer. A moth had flown into it, so she said she was debugging the machine. She continued after her retirement in the Navy. She stopped January 1, 1992, which was the day of her death.

She has many nicknames such as: "Admiral Grace," "Amazing Grace," and "Grand Old Lady of Software."

She has influenced society today, especially women. Thanks to her, women today can do what she did then. She also influences people who want to work with computers. Without her, I don't think our computers would be as good as they are now. HAHA! Yeah that's your answer
