Resources on Scholarship: Women, Men and Gender in Computing
The Charles Babbage Institute is dedicated to the history of computing and information technology. Resources pertaining to women's history can be found in collections that deal explicitly with women in computing, such as the collections of prominent women computer programmers or those of organizations dedicated to advancing the opportunities of women in computing.
Other collections not explicitly focused on women in computing, nevertheless, also contain rich materials demonstrating gendered roles in the profession, commentary on job training and employment opportunities over the years, challenging or hostile work environments and women's actions to create change. Materials from many of these collections were featured in the exhibit.
