One should air on Monday (Oct 6) during Morning Edition, in a piece by Laura Sydell. (No idea if I'll get more than a soundbite.) The other is part of a podcast by Steve Henn for Planet Money (<a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/">http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/</a>); not sure when that will be posted. <br><br>So, why the interest in this topic all of a sudden? Turns out that Walter Isaacson, who wrote the best-selling bio of Steve Jobs, has a book coming out in a few days called "The Innovators: How a Group of Hackers, Geniuses, and Geeks Created the Digital Revolution." I haven't had a chance to see it yet--any SIGCIS folks get an advance copy?--but evidently he devotes some attention to women in computing. Below is a link to an excerpt that was published in Fortune; the source list at the end shows he is aware of our collective work.<br><br><a href="http://fortune.com/2014/09/18/walter-isaacson-the-women-of-eniac/">http://fortune.com/2014/09/18/walter-isaacson-the-women-of-eniac/</a><br><br>On a related note, I see that Kathy Kleiman finally finished her film on the ENIAC women (a few months ago), which had been in the works for years.
