Women and Computing
Speaking of stories about women and computing.... Those wishing to have some stories to tell to girls in their classes should check out the PBS Special Minerva's Machine, or the ACM's online complimentary website at: http://www.acm.org/minerva Or the University of Alberta's overview at: http://www.ualberta.ca/~nfriesen/582/into.htm Or, moving beyond the computer, here is information on 4000 years of Women in Science: http://crux.astr.ua.edu/4000WS/ And then there is the Ada Project: http://www.cs.yale.edu/~tap/tap.html And of course, the ever popular girlgeeks.com http://www.girlkeeks.com Well, just so you know that there are stories to be found, stories to be told. There are famous women mathemeticians, scientists, programmers, engineers. Well, they would be famous, if we told their stories more. Stephen
