The theme of International Women's Day in 2024 is to inspire inclusion #InspireInclusion.

This means treating every woman's contributions equally and fairly, respecting their wishes, giving them more space, and encouraging them to achieve more.

In today's thriving Web3, looking back, there are many women's shining achievements that cannot be ignored.

On this special day, we step into their great achievements and pay tribute to them.

The first to propose zero-knowledge proof: Shafi Goldwasser

Shafi Goldwasser is an outstanding computer scientist and mathematician, known for her contributions to cryptography and theoretical computer science.

Goldwasser's research covers many areas, including cryptography, complexity theory, randomized algorithms, distributed computing, and computer security. She is the recipient of numerous awards such as the Turing Award, the Gödel Prize, and the Sloan Research Fellowship.

Goldwasser's work in the field of cryptography is particularly outstanding, such as zero-knowledge proofs, hybrid cryptographic systems, and encryption schemes with robust security. Her research is of great significance for building secure computer systems and protecting personal privacy.

The inventor of the first computer program: Ada Lovelace

Ada Lovelace was a 19th-century British mathematician, considered to be the world's first computer programmer. She was the daughter of the British poet Lord Byron and an outstanding mathematician and logician.

Ada Lovelace had a deep understanding of the concept of the analytical engine, believing that this machine could not only be used to process numbers, but also to process symbols. She proposed an algorithm that described how to use the analytical engine to calculate Bernoulli numbers, which is considered the world's first computer program.

Although the analytical engine was never fully built, Ada Lovelace's ideas and the algorithm she wrote had a profound impact on the development of computer science. She is considered one of the pioneers in the field of computer programming, and her contributions are celebrated every mid-October as "Ada Lovelace Day."

The designer of the first office computer: Evelyn Berezin

Evelyn Berezin was an American computer scientist and engineer, considered one of the pioneers in the field of computer science.

Evelyn's notable contributions include designing computers for various purposes, such as the "Data Secretary" she created, recognized as the first word processor in history. When she was the head of the logic design department at a computer company, she designed the first office computer.

She also designed the first computerized airline reservation system, which reportedly covered 60 cities and had a response time of only 1 second. The first computerized banking system also came from her hands.

The first to use high-level language programming: Grace Murray Hopper

Grace Murray Hopper was an American computer scientist, considered one of the pioneers in the field of computer programming and software development.

Hopper was one of the first people to write programs using high-level languages. She was involved in the development of the COBOL (Common Business-Oriented Language) programming language, also known as the "mother of COBOL." She was also one of the programmers of the first electronic digital computer (Mark I). The well-known computer programming term "Debug" is derived from Grace's discovery of a moth causing a computer malfunction.

The explorer of the heavens who discovered Halley's Comet: Caroline Lucretia Herschel

Caroline Herschel was the first person to discover comets as a woman. She discovered 8 comets, the most famous of which is Halley's Comet discovered in 1786, and also discovered dozens of new galaxies, star clusters, and nebulae.

She worked with her brother William Herschel to compile a large number of star catalogs, which had a great impact on later astronomical research.

Herschel was the first female member of the Royal Astronomical Society and the first woman to receive the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society.

Today, in the world of cutting-edge technologies such as Web3 and AI, there are still many outstanding women contributing their intelligence and strength.

"When the power of women comes together, they become unstoppable." Looking ahead, the goddesses will write even more magnificent and grand chapters.
