Hopper *was* "involved in COBOL" as a technical consultant and later a committee member, but more importantly she (and the team she led) designed B-0 (FLOW-MATIC), the language that COBOL was standardizing.
A decade earlier, she had implemented the world's first "compiler" while on the Harvard Mark I team, basically a linker or macro assembler, taking machine code as both input and output. This was the work that she formalized as the A-0 language while on the UNIVAC team, which in turn led to A-1, A-2, A-3, AT-3 and finally B-0, which used text input.
