Happy Ada Lovelace Day

Today is Ada Lovelace Day, when STEM enthusiasts highlight the work of modern and historical women scientists, engineers, and mathematicians. If you run a blog, you may want to participate by posting about a woman in a STEM field whom you admire. But I'd love to have people share women scientists/mathematicians/authors in the comments that they think we could all stand to read more about.

Women in STEM fields (living or dead, fiction or nonfictional) that you'd like us to know more about (preferably with a little precis and a link
Books about women in STEM fields that are awesome
Books written by women about STEM subjects that are awesome
Studies about sexism (or ways to combat it) in STEM fields (and anywhere else)
Practical things you or organizations you're with have done to cut down on careless or intentional sexism. (how did you implement it, how did you measure the effects, etc)

I think this should have been a link in the Open Thread to the post on your own blog, not a crosspost.

I thought the recommendations here might be a lot more highly technical than those for the general audience on my blog. Also, I had a worried feeling that linking would decrease engagement and make it look like I was just being self-promotional (since I get paid based on pageviews).

I see someone has stated their disagreement with a downvote, but let me state mine with a comment instead: I think this post is too valuable to be hidden in the Open Thread.
