Inspirational Women in Technology

[Kirstin Hancock]

I have spent much of today reading about inspirational women. It has been motivational and reassuring!

One of my role models is Ada Lovelace. An incredible mathematician and writer who, despite suppressive nineteenth century attitudes, went on to become the first ever computer programmer. An inspiration to women who code, or indeed broach any new technological problem, Lovelace is a symbol of what we can achieve against all odds.

And so, on International Women’s Day, I want to create a list of incredible ladies who are demonstrating what women can achieve, and are achieving. Please add your role models below.

I really have to think more about this. I know that there are women that I admire and look up to, but the only ones that comes to mind always are Eleanor Roosevelt and Maya Angelou.

There have been some amazing women in history that have made a difference in our world as we see it today.
