Gendered Perspectives
Read our new research report, created in collaboration with the Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology, on women's experience of working in Silicon Valley's high tech industry. Based on surveys and interviews of both men and women, Climbing the Technical Ladder: Obstacles and Solutions for Mid-Level Women in Technology examines the issues that face women at the critical mid-career point - and brings forward recommendations that may help high-tech companies be more effective in retaining all their talent, both men and women. Available for free download, or hard copies available from the Clayman Institute.
Did you know....?
In 1945, the U.S. army selected six women to work on the first all-electronic digital computer, ENIAC, at the University of Pennsylvania. Programming was entirely in the hands of the "ENIAC women": Kathleen McNulty, Mauchley Antonelli, Jean Bartik, Betty Holberton, Marlyn Meltzer, Frances Spence and Ruth Teitelbaum. On October 21, the Computer History Museum in Mountain View will be honoring Jean Bartik with a 2008 Fellows Award.
