The history of the internet encompasses more than just male innovators; it includes female visionaries who have consistently been at the forefront of technology and innovation. Women have played crucial roles in every significant technological advancement, often remaining hidden in plain sight. Their inventions and contributions have profoundly impacted our lives, yet they are frequently overlooked. In a tech landscape still dominated by men, this narrative highlights the brilliant minds history has forgotten, from pioneering database poets and data wranglers to groundbreaking entrepreneurs of the dot com era. Discover Ada Lovelace, who created the first computer program in 1842, and Grace Hopper, the mathematician who made computing accessible post-World War II. Learn about Elizabeth "Jake" Feinler, who maintained the early Internet, and Stacy Horn, who operated one of the first social networks from her apartment in the 1980s. These pioneers defied societal norms to lead the tech revolution, challenging the notion of a male-only domain in Silicon Valley. This enlightening account reintroduces us to the often-overlooked women who shaped technology, revealing that the prevailing "boy's club" of today is an outdated concept.
