Important to keep in mind that Lamarr, Hopper, the women of Bletchley Park, all came into their own in particular circumstances
Lamarr "was an unusual woman, one offered the privileges of spare time and access to expert people" http://www.howwegettonext.com/Article/VGOy8SQAAHIDqQIo/happy-100th-hedy-lamarr …

Lamarr had time, resources, access that most women didn't have then, or even now. Hopper & Bletchley Park --> context of the war effort
-
When you no longer have a large institution (e.g. the military) pushing resources & access specifically at women, what happens?
-
IMO Lamarr is just as good of an example of women in science as Hopper & Bletchley Park, b/c they all benefited from unusual circumstances
-
Women at the time (and to some extent, women today) didn't have access to resources, education, independent financial means
-
When you ask "Why aren't there more women inventors?" in early tech history, can't ignore the realities of financial dependence for women
-
How many women of leisure just hung around MIT and Berkeley, free, unmarried, and able to tinker on random shit
