Drude Elisabeth Berntsen (born 1939)[1] is a Norwegian computer scientist who was director of the Norwegian Computing Center (Norsk Regnesentral) from 1970 to 1990.[2] It was unusual for a woman to hold such a high-ranking position at a time of male dominance in computing.[3]
Berntsen's publications include a survey of early Norwegian computing developments titled "The Pioneer Era in Norwegian Scientific Computing (1948–1962)".[4] and a biography of Kristen Nygaard, The Many Dimensions of Kristen Nygaard, Creator of Object-Oriented Programming and the Scandinavian School of System Development.[5]
