PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Kathy Kleiman is a leader in Internet law and policy, teaching at American University Washington College of Law. She founded the ENIAC Programmers Project, whose documentary The Computers premiered at the Seattle International Film Festival, and won the Grand Jury Award For Best Short Documentary at the United Nations Association Film Festival.
'Everyone told Kathy Kleiman that the women she sought did not exist. Thankfully, she didn't believe them. In Proving Ground , Kleiman pursues her subjects with the instincts of an investigative journalist, uncovering the stories of six groundbreaking women who battled sexism, complex trajectory equations, and blown vacuum tubes in order to program the world's first digital computer. With unforgettable prose, Kleiman blends the history of early computing with the lives of the women who made modern programming possible. Proving Ground is a book so deeply inspiring that it has the power to completely alter how we see the technology field and the role of women within it.' -- Nathalia Holt, New York Times bestselling author of 'Rise of the Rocket Girls' 'With this book, Kathy Kleiman restores the ENIAC 6 to their rightful, lauded place in the history of computing. The bond she developed with these women through her years of research and interviews is evident, as each of them comes vibrantly and vividly alive in her writing. Their story will serve as inspiration for generations of women in STEM.' -- Keith O'Brien, New York Times bestselling author of 'Fly Girls'
