During my research about the Aho-Corasick-Algorithm I noticed the lack of information or documentation of Margaret Corasick. E.g. there isnt even a wikipedia page about her and if you search for her name, the only mentions are in the career of Alfred Aho and when talking about the algorithm.
I asked my professor if I could dedicate a chapter for her (e.g. “history of the algorithm”) and he agreed if it doesnt get insanely long. So I wanted to get your opinion on that topic so I can write something that represents her well!
Thank you for any help in advance!

This is fairly typical of women throughout history. Woman accomplishes something important, Mam takes credit and/or all but erases Woman from the project. I think focusing on her time at Bell Labs and her work with algorithms would be fantastic.
Sounds like you’ll have enough information to create that Wikipedia article once you’re done your assignment. 🙂
Depending on your goals, you may even want to look around for a journal to publish in. Could be a cool thing to have on your CV.
Best of luck to you!
