Excerpt: 

This site has biographies of women who contributed to our culture in many different ways. There are writers, educators, scientists, heads of state, politicians, civil rights crusaders, artists, entertainers, and others. Some were alive hundreds of years ago and some are living today. We've heard of some of them, while many more have been ignored by history book writers. I'd like to acknowledge as many as I can.

Annotation: 

This text only, one-page site provides a list of links to Web materials on prominent women in the history of digital technology. There are approximately over 40 women listed, beginning with the nineteenth-century mathematician Ada Lovelace. Some of the entries, such as the entry on Lovelace, list multiple Web sites containing their biographical information. At the bottom of the page are a few links to other sites on women in computer science past and present. There are no images or biographical material on this site, just links.
