If you want to encourage your daughter, sister, niece, aunt, mom, grandma, BFF, girlfriend, or wife to dig into math, science, and computers and pursue the high-paying jobs in those fields, it helps to show her some role models.

"Women have been leaders in computing from the start, but not enough of our contributions are remembered," they say. So they created this deck of playing cards that features 54 notable women in computing.
