This book taught me so much about women in technology. There are so many women in significant positions that I was never ever taught about and it makes me wonder why.

An inspiring book that has made me want to seek out more and would really recommend.

Informative and inspiring. This made me want to dive deeper into the biographies of women like Grace Hopper and Ada Lovelace. It also made me nostalgic for the hopeful utopian days of the 90s when there was still so much potential in this new thing called the World Wide Web. Little did we know what a garbage fire the Internet has become.

This was a very dense read but I would absolutely read it again in a couple years. Its a fascinating look at the first women who helped to build the internet and its predecessors. I was particularly interested in the pattern of women getting pushed out of each space as it got established enough to have a formal hierarchy.
