Increasing representation of women in tech
is important not only for the brilliant
career opportunities it can offer to them,
but also for the ability of the
technology industry as a whole to innovate
and rise to meet the needs of society.
Women have played a major role in computing for centuries as well as men. The purpose of this paper is to gain knowledge on women involved in technology who for some reason do not gain as much recognition as do men. There are numerous women within this field worth talking about, but the ones chosen were Ada Byron, Grace Hopper, Evelyn Granville, and Krisztina Holly. The history of each individual will be discussed as well as what form of influence they had in computers.
