Description
In a world where tech companies are still male-dominated and women are often dissuaded from STEM careers, Broad Band shines a much-needed light on the bright minds history forgot, from pioneering database poets, data wranglers, and hypertext dreamers to glass ceiling-shattering dot com-era entrepreneurs. This electrifying corrective to tech history introduces us all to our long-overlooked tech mothers and grandmothers - showing us that if there's a 'boy's club' that dominates Silicon Valley today, it's an anachronism.
