Gregory's Server@ljrk this. I make a point of it, at least in my small corner of CS. Talking about the BSDs? We’re gonna talk about Bill AND Lynne Jolitz. Modern sandboxed computer architectures? Joanna Rutskova needs a name check! Usable computing means we should talk about MEZ and Angella Sasse. We don’t change the perception that CS is a boys club unless we show all the other people in there!
@goblin Yup! And at some point our CS depts seriously need to think about ways to apologize for the ill-treatment and acknowledge how women were silenced and discriminated against for decades. And that their liberation came not from enlightened academics who rationally pulled everything apart but from feminists fighting for their rights (we might happen to be academics to, but that's beside the point)!
