A Mind for Machines: History of Women in Tech

On IDentity Today, Dr Rosemary Cooper, Global Information Systems - Governance Risk and Compliance Manager at Sonic Healthcare, joins us to discuss gender diversity and gender discrimination within the tech sector. Dr Cooper provides an overview of female engineers and computing geniuses throughout history and how their ground-breaking contributions were seldom credited. Now a male dominated industry, we cover how organisations can attract women a provide a ladder of opportunity for women.

"No doubt. There’s been movies on TV, The Imitation Game for example, around the Colossus computer that did most of the code breaking for the war, a lot of people don’t release that 95% of the people on that project were women."
