I received a copy from Aurora Metro Supernova Books in exchange for an honest review.
If you’re looking for a book covering women in technology, then this is the book for you! The book starts with general information on the difficulties women in technology have faced around the world. From this point on, you will see that the book is split up in three sections starting with Women in Technology: Post-War to Today. It’s a brief but important section, which gets you excited to read the rest of the book. Next up is Pioneers and Legends, which covers 25 notable women in technology from around the world. Finally, we get to what turned out to be my favorite part of the book, which is a section of interviews with women in technology today.
I truly enjoyed reading this book. I recognized several of the women covered, but there were many I had never heard of. This is one of those books that makes me wish that there was a college course devoted to learning about women in technology and the sciences the same way there are courses devoted to women in politics. It’s entirely possible that this class is offered out there somewhere and it just wasn’t offered where I went to college. Either way, I loved reading this and learning about so many different women and their impact on technology and the world as we know it today.
