Review of 'Broad Band: The Untold Story of the Women Who Made the Internet' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Nice perspective. Learned some biographical details about Ada Lovelace and Grace Hopper I hadn't heard before. Love how it dives into the lore-creating BBSs of the early nineties and the information figures who grew there into dotcom leaders.
This is not a comprehensive encyclopedia of all women in all technology, but it is a great story of a few of them, and the story of how they were overshadowed by male colleagues for various reasons.
