}}Margaret R. Fox (1916-2006) was an American electronics engineer and computer scientist.[2] She was the Chief of the Office of Computer Information, part of the Institute for Computer Science and Technology of the National Bureau of Standards (now the National Institute of Standards and Technology) from 1966 to 1975 and was the first secretary of the American Federation of Information Processing Societies.[3]

Education

Fox graduated from Wisconsin State College of Milwaukee in 1940.

She taught school before joining the U.S. Naval Reserve in 1943.[3] She was stationed at the Naval Research Station in Washington, D.C. and after her discharge in 1946, she continued working as an electronics engineer in radar. Fox joined the National Bureau of Standards as a member of the technical staff of the Electronic Computer Laboratory in 1951 and later joined the Research Information Center and Advisory Service on Information Processing, where she produced reviews and bibliographies.[4] Along with Samuel N. Alexander, Fox prepared and planned a series of college computer courses beginning in 1966.[5] She chaired the Technical Program Committee[6] and in 1973, she became representative of the Bureau's Center for Computer Sciences and Technology.[7] She was appointed Chief of the Office of Computer Information, part of the Institute for Computer Science and Technology of the National Bureau of Standards (now the National Institute of Standards and Technology) in 1966. Fox held this position until 1975.[8]
