Happy birthday to trailblazing #programmer & #computer scientist, Beatrice “Trixie” Worsley (1921-1972). My #linocut shows Worsley seated at the first computer in Canada, the FERUT (which she named) & a flow diagram of one of her programs.⁠

Trixie Worsley earned one of the first doctorates in computer science anywhere, & was supervised by Douglas Hartree and Alan Turing at Cambridge. 🧵1/n
