Grace Brewster Murray Hopper was born on ๐๐๐๐๐ฆ๐๐๐ซ ๐, ๐๐๐๐ in New York. She was an American computer scientist and United States Navy rear admiral, and a ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฟ of computer programming, who invented one of the first linkers.
Early in her life, Grace Murray Hopper showed a ๐๐๐ interest in engineering. As a child, she would often take apart household tools and put them back together. ๐งโ๏ธ
After the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the United Statesโ entry into World War II, Grace decided to join ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐. She was initially rejected, but she persisted and received a waiver to join the U.S. Naval Reserve (Womenโs Reserve).

On ๐๐๐ฉ๐ญ๐๐ฆ๐๐๐ซ ๐๐๐๐, Grace Murray Hopper records โthe first computer bugโ in the logbook of Harvard's Mark II computer.
The problem was attributed to ๐ข ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฉ caught between relay contacts in the computer, which Hopper duly recorded in the Mark II logbook with the explanation, "First actual case of bug found." The bug was actually found by others, but Hopper chose the name in the logbook.
Grace is the person who probably made the incident famous. Thomas Edison reported โbugsโ in his designs as early as the ๐๐๐๐๐ฌ, but this was the first bug identified in a computer.
