Hi Pham,
I am Woman, hear me Roar.

Woman working in this field:
The only one I can recall was Kath Spracklin (sp????) who was co-author, with
her husband whose name I forget, of the Fidelity series of chess computers, and
perhaps also the Sargon chess program.  I don't belive she currently works in
computer chess.  (the reliability of the above paragraph ranges from "pretty
sure" to "very unsure")

I don't know what she actually did (programming, gui, bookdatabase).

Cheers,
Tina Long
