Happy International Women's Day!

Let's talk about the women who are innovating in the world of emerging technologies. Who are some of the women that inspire you?

I would love to hear more your thoughts and insights. Thanks in advance!

I have always followed the works of Maya Angelou. Many others in my life have inspired me, including Jennifer Stoddard.

A good friend Patricia Gilmore helped me. Another lady that I admire is Mollie Krehnke

Most folks have probably never heard of the last two ladies but their strength and wisdom was always there when needed. Along with their love.

Hedy Lamarr, the ladies that crunched numbers and programmed early at NASA, Grace Hopper, and Ada Lovelace. While there are still very few of us women in IT and CS, these women were in times that women were not typically recognized for their work or even given the chance to participate. Thank you, ladies.
