In Programmed Inequality, Marie Hicks explores the story of labor feminization and gendered technocracy that undercut British efforts to computerize. Women were a hidden engine of growth in high technology from World War II to the 1960s. As computing experienced a gender flip, labor problems grew into structural ones, and gender discrimination caused the nation's largest computer user to make decisions that were disastrous for the British computer industry and the nation as a whole.

Fascinating Deep Dive into Tech and Society
Revisado: 03-12-18
This story of when--and why--computing flipped from being a feminized field to being a male-dominated one is essential knowledge for everyone working in the field today. I had no idea how much this change had to do with power rather than skill. Women in computing today face similar obstacles. The great part about this book is that it makes you think about the structures that have created this situation, and it shows how women have been there from the beginning.
