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)

My opinion of India's government just went up several notches. Controlled random trials on entire villages? We need to elect more mad scientists!

My methods prof brought this study and a few others on natural opportunities for experiment the first day. I think it was to try and get the polisci majors to govern more like mad scientists if they ended up in applied politics instead of theoretical.
