| Description: | Select Guide Rating A breakthrough book on the women who brought you the internet and who were written out of history, until now. In a world where tech companies are still male-dominated and women are often dissuaded from STEM careers, Broad Band shines a much-needed light on the bright minds history forgot, from pioneering database poets, data wranglers, and hypertext dreamers to glass ceiling-shattering dot com-era entrepreneurs. This electrifying corrective to tech history introduces us all to our long-overlooked tech mothers and grandmothers - showing us that if there''s a ''boy''s club'' that dominates Silicon Valley today, it''s an anachronism. |
