Via Feminist News.

Evelyn Berezin built the first word processor.

Her patents include:

Information Transfer Apparatus

Electronic Data File Processor

Information Transfer System

On-Line Data Transfer Apparatus

Electrical Assemblage

Data Processing System

Arithmetic Device

Electronic Calculator with Dynamic Recirculating Storage Register

Control means with Record Sensing for an Electronic Calculator

Not only did she build the first word processor..

Among them was a system for the US Army for range calculations, a system for controlling the distribution of magazines, and what is now considered the first office computer.

..Which was entirely designed by herself. The first office computer.

I am furious I did not know her name.

Rest in power.
