Kathleen Booth, Creator of the First Assembly Language
Kathleen Booth, who celebrated her 100th birthday last July, lived a life filled with history-making milestones. Booth, who died on Sept. 29, filled her years with fruitful research, meaningful innovation, inspiring encounters — and involvement with several of the 20th century’s major technological milestones.
Their ultimate goal was to produce a computer called the Automatic Relay Calculator (“ARC”), and Kathleen and Andrew Booth worked on it together.
Booth lived a life devoted to practical and important research — so it’s inspiring that much of it is still available online.
But perhaps most importantly, Kathleen Booth will always be remembered for her groundbreaking contributions to the earliest days of computer history.
