Actual Women in Science - 1940's

I have been searching and searching for a female scientists known for her work in the 1940's, the era of WSRM. The Franklin Institute has a long list of female scientists dating back to the early 1900's. As fascinating as that is, what about the 40's? Thanks to WWII, I read that there were women programmers from the University of Pennsylvania that developed the ENAIC program which help build speed and accuracy with firing weapons. It was nice to read about career women for that decade. I wonder, if it weren't for WWII, what else would these scholars have done?...
