Women have been involved in technology for centuries. In their private lives, women have been operating tools and gadgets, using keyboards, and running machinery. The technology used by women has not always been recognized in the public domain like it is today in the information age. However, there are some notable women who pioneered in the field of technology, through design, invention, development, and frequent usage in their public lives. Let's recognize these achievers. If only they were around today to see the breakthroughs and progress women are making in the field of technology. We will recognize them as lifetime members of WiT!
