This project started when it was recognized that there are very few notable women (or famous women or leading women) computer scientists who have Wikipedia pages. For example, a large number of women with notable awards such as ACM Fellow, IEEE Fellow, ACM Distinguished Educator, Scientist or Engineer, or other notable awards had no Wikipedia page.

Based on the Wikipedia project of Notable Women in Computing, the team of Susan Rodger, Katy Dickinson, and Jessica Dickinson Goodman, selected 54 of the notable women from the project database and created a deck of playing cards (52 cards and 2 jokers) with a different notable woman in computing on each card. This project started in 2014 and we sold the first deck of cards at the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing 2014 conference. The first deck had silhouettes for many of the women and many did not have a Wikipedia page. We updated the deck three more times, adding photos once we got them and adding a URL for their Wikipedia page once someone wrote their page. The fourth edition produced in 2019 has photos for everyone and they now all have a URL for a Wikipedia page!

Clarisse has been  the 10 of Spades in the NWC card deck since its first edition in 2014. She is honored to represent all South American women in Computer Science. Learn more about the project here.
