Broad Band: The Untold Story of the Women Who Made the Internet by Claire L. Evans
—
The history of technology you probably know is one of men and machines, garages and riches, alpha nerds and brogrammers. But the little-known fact is that female visionaries have always been at the vanguard of technology and innovation - they’ve just been erased from the story. Until now.
—
Women are not ancillary to the history of technology; they turn up at the very beginning of every important wave. But they’ve often been hidden in plain sight, their inventions and contributions touching our lives in ways we don’t even realize.
VICE reporter and YACHT lead singer Claire L. Evans finally gives these unsung female heroes their due with her insightful social history of the Broad Band, the women who made the internet what it is today. Learn from Ada Lovelace, the tortured, imaginative daughter of Lord Byron, who wove numbers into the first program for a mechanical computer in 1842. Seek inspiration from Grace Hopper, the tenacious mathematician who democratized computing by leading the charge for machine-independent programming languages after World War II. Meet Elizabeth “Jake” Feinler, the one-woman Google who kept the earliest version of the Internet online, and Stacy Horn, who ran one of the first-ever social networks on a shoestring out of her New York City apartment in the 1980s. Evans shows us how these women built and colored the technologies we can’t imagine life without.
Join the ranks of the pioneers who defied social convention and the longest odds to become database poets, information-wranglers, hypertext dreamers, and glass ceiling-shattering dot com-era entrepreneurs. This inspiring call to action is a revelation: women have embraced technology from the start. It shines a light on the bright minds whom history forgot, and shows us how they will continue to shape our world in ways we can no longer ignore.

Thank you, this is needed!

LOL. Feminists!

Women did not, in fact, make the Internet.
The U.S. military did.
And they did it in order to counter the threat of Communist nukes.

Also, Grace Hopper has in fact not, at any point, been erased from history at all in any context by anyone anywhere ever.

This is despicable. Total lies. Women did not create the internet.

WOW! You’re showing your true colours, boys (you’re being too immature to be called men). Before you scream your defensive heart out, why not give the book a read and then comment on the book itself, not just show the world how miniscule and threatened you feel over a book title. FACTS are that the military also included women, and FACTS are that the military (and other contributors to the world wide web) built upon work already done by some of these women. It might enrage you that women had just as much of a role as men did, but the FACTS are that women contributed, and this book is to shine a light on these women. If you’ve got a problem with that, then you seriously need to seek help with your anger towards women.

> “why not give the book a read and then comment on the book itself”
Let’s make a deal.
I’ll read this as long as you agree to read, “The Last Closet” by Moira Greyland. (written by a woman!) Then we’ll compare notes and see if either book challenged our preconceptions.

Thank you for posting this. I’m surprised by the comments, but I guess in the world which gave us gamergate, I shouldn’t be surprised. It seems like the less contact that men (or man-boys) have with real women, the more defensive, reactionary, and fearful of women they become. Insofar as we have a human nature, I suppose it includes a tendency to fear the unfamiliar. So, hey, guys, how about you turn away from your screens, and turn toward some real women. If you demonstrate good listening skills, empathy, and respect, I think you’ll find that your fears were misplaced. And, hey, you might end up getting laid, if you’re so inclined.

Thanks for the upload. Everyone on this site who isn’t a literal nazi gets this kind of ridiculous treatment from the 14 year old boys in the comments.

Thank you!

Have not read it and will not. Feminist crap, next one will probably be: the untold story of the Women Who invented the automobile, vaccination, the lightbulb and won WWII. No, thank you

I just came for the comments. Was not disappointed.
Reeeeeeeee!
