Betting On Women In Tech: Why They Are The Future Of Innovation
From Forbes:
Women have been instrumental in shaping the tech industry, from Ada Lovelace’s pioneering work on the first computer program in the 1800s to Grace Hopper’s development of COBOL, and the coining of the term “debugging.” Trailblazers like Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson made space exploration possible, while Hedy Lamarr’s co-invention of frequency-hopping technology laid the foundation for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS. Radia Perlman, often called the “Mother of the Internet,” created the algorithm that powers the modern web.
These women didn’t just contribute to tech—they defined it. Their legacies remind us of the immense potential that arises when women lead in innovation.
Today, women are continuing to shape technology.
