In a Nutshell

Writer and musician Claire L. Evans tells the untold and forgotten stories of the women who created and shaped the technological world we live in today.

Favorite Quote

The women who invented programming, working as mediators between metal and mind, grew into the women who wrote the elegant abstractions of language that allowed us to talk to computers like we talk to people.

Claire L. Evans

Introduction

Ask most people about the early days of computers and the internet, and they'll probably tell you a story about men.

While the engineers who created the machinery were mostly male, the people who made the machinery do what was required were overwhelmingly female.

From creating the first programming languages to running the early internet, women were there all along.

In Broad Band, journalist, musician, and creative advisor Claire L. Evans aims to set the record straight by exploring our technological world and the neglected perspective of the women who built it.

Delving deep into the stories of the women who had a pivotal yet under-reported role in creating the world as we know it, Broad Band is a fascinating read for anyone interested in computing, the internet, and hidden histories.
