Rediscovering WWII's female 'computers'

It was 2003 and [filmmaker LeAnn] Erickson was interviewing sisters Shirley Blumberg Melvin and Doris Blumberg Polsky for her documentary, "Neighbor Ladies," about a woman-owned real estate agency that helped to peacefully integrate a Philadelphia neighborhood.  The twins, long-retired by then, reluctantly mentioned a different sort of job they'd held during World War II: Female "computers."

I read this a few weeks ago, and I thought it was very interesting. I love World War 2, and I find the women from the period to be incredibly awesome, if unsung at times.
