商品描述
This book offers a journey into the history of pioneering Israeli women in electronic computing and explores the impact these women had on the annals of Israeli computing history. With the primary setting being the Weizmann Institute of Science, where the genesis of computing in Israel took place, their stories come to life through the lens of personal narratives, and their personal stories provide a unique window into their experiences, challenges, and triumphs. It delves into a compelling narrative of women who defied societal norms and forged their path in a male-dominated field. Their accounts captivate individuals who are passionate about advocating for gender equality and empowerment, as well as those with an interest in the history of computing and the development of information technology in Israel.
