There must be so many more (and more diverse?) than Ada Lovelace, Grace Hopper and the women behind ENIAC. Do you have favorite histories about individuals or communities? I'm working on a research project for a documentary film and would be very grateful for suggestions about books, articles, people, or other resources. I'm a novice here, so thank you for your patience with my inquiry. Suggestions on or off list most welcome! Have you come across an unsung hero(ine) that you'd be willing to direct us toward? Thank you for your time, and looking forward to your thoughts, Madeleine -- M C Elish Researcher Intelligence & Autonomy Initiative Data & Society Institute 36 West 20th Street, 11th Floor New York, NY 10011 _______________________________________________ This email is relayed from members at sigcis.org, the email discussion list of SHOT SIGCIS.
