"[5] In 1961, when it arrived in Buenos Aires from England, Clementina was the most powerful computer in the country, cost $300,000 and measured 18 metres (59 ft) in length.

[4] The newly graduated Berdichevsky studied computing from the visiting English software engineer Cicely Popplewell (famous for having worked with Alan Turing in Manchester) and with the Spanish mathematician Ernesto García Camarero.

Based on Berdichevsky's progress in Argentina, in 1962 she was one of two people[3] awarded scholarships to continue studies at the University of London's Computer Unit for five months, followed by the same length of time at a French institution.

This intrusion led to student/professor sit-ins that resulted in the violent Night of the Long Batons on 29 July 1966 when military troops physically beat and evicted the academic occupiers from the University of Buenos Aires and other institutions of higher learning.

Between 1966 and 1970 she was also one of the directors of Scientific Technical Advisors (ACT), the company formed by her former academic associates, Manuel Sadosky, Rebeca Guber and Juan Chamero.

[3] After her retirement, she continued to work as a computer consultant and participated in important international projects and organizations such as United Nations Development Program.
