Grace was born on 9 December 1906 and was one of the first computer programmers to work on high-level languages and programming tools.

After graduating in mathematics from Vassar and Yale, she taught mathematics at Vassar. When the USA entered the War in 1943, she joined the US Naval Reserve and was assigned to work on an electromechanical machine for mathematical calculations, built at Harvard and funded by IBM. After the War, she worked for a number of computer companies.

In developing one of the first high-level languages, Hopper created programs for translating more abstract instructions into machine code compilers.

Hopper was a Commander when she retired from the U.S. Navy in 1966. However, she returned the following year and remained in service until the age of 79, retiring as a rear admiral and the oldest serving officer in the U.S. Armed Forces. In 1996, the Navy named a destroyer after her.

Grace oedd un o'r rhaglenwyr cyfrifiadurol cyntaf i weithio ar ieithoedd lefel uchel ac offer rhaglennu. Ar ôl graddio mewn mathemateg o Vassar ac Iâl, dysgodd mathemateg yn Vassar. Pan ymunodd UDA â'r Rhyfel ym 1943, ymunodd â Gwarchodfa Llynges yr Unol Daleithiau a chafodd ei neilltuo i weithio ar beiriant electrofecanyddol ar gyfer cyfrifiadau mathemategol, a adeiladwyd yn Harvard ac a ariannwyd gan IBM. Ar ôl y Rhyfel, gweithiodd i nifer o gwmnïau cyfrifiadurol.

Wrth ddatblygu un o’r ieithoedd lefel uchel cyntaf, creodd Hopper raglenni ar gyfer trosi cyfarwyddiadau mwy haniaethol yn god peiriant, crynoyddion.

Roedd Hopper yn Gadlywydd pan ymddeolodd o Lynges yr Unol Daleithiau ym 1966. Fodd bynnag, dychwelodd y flwyddyn ganlynol a pharhaodd mewn gwasanaeth hyd at 79 oed, gan ymddeol fel llyngesydd cefn a'r swyddog hynaf yn Lluoedd Arfog yr Unol Daleithiau. Ym 1996, enwodd y llynges ddinistriwr ar ei hôl.
