If you're interested in the history of how women got pushed out of computing, you should also check out Programmed Inequality by Marie Hicks as well. It's a thorough examination of how Britain squandered their early computing lead in the WWII & postwar periods by shutting skilled women out of computer-related work in government and industry.
least favorite topic ever. women never ruled the computer world. they were secretaries. move on.
Would love to read more about this. I've read that early programming was thought of like a glorified telephone operator, but that these women had advanced mathematics degrees.
I can't find anything non-biased though, everyone just wants to push the female victim narrative.
