Carolyn P. Meinel (CPM) (b. 1946) was notable in the hacking scene during the 1990s. Her books and website, called The Happy Hacker, are dedicated to "script kiddie" means of "hacking." Some have criticized her writings, claiming they're inaccurate and generally misrepresent hacking.[1] [2]

In August 1975, Meinel co-founded (with her then-husband, Keith Henson) the L5 Society, since merged into the National Space Society, and was its president for several years.

Her father is Aden Meinel and mother is Marjorie Meinel.

Meinel married her first husband, Howard Keith Henson, in 1967 and divorced in 1989. Meinel has four daughters.
