Ware was an activist who utilized her variety of positions to highlight computer system operations and emphasize partnerships with minority groups, such as the first hearing-impaired employees. As she founded innovative programs, she brought awareness to minority groups in a predominantly homogeneous field. Ware’s occupation was not as a cryptographer, but her work as an educator and activist functioned in promotion of the cryptography field as a whole. After an inspiring career, she finally retired in 1993.
