Summary

Breaking Through Bytes celebrates the indomitable spirit of women who redefined technology. The book provides vivid portraits of 18 female pioneers who cracked the digital code, women who dared to question, create and conquer, describing the evolution of technology through an inspiring lens.

The book spans millennia, tracing the impact of trailblazing women in technology. In early chapters, meet historical figures from the first century to the early 1800s, whose contributions laid the groundwork for today's advancements. Dive into stories of mixed digital artist Thea Baumann, actress and inventor Hedy Lamarr, and pioneering programmer Betty Snyder alongside virtual reality specialist Claire Blackshaw. Discover modern innovators like Kayleigh Oliver, a woman of color waving the flag for programming all whilst balancing motherhood and tech, and Rocio Evenett, a fashion technologist revolutionizing the supply chain.

Breaking Through Bytes uniquely explores women's contributions to STEM and digital technologies, focusing on underrepresented innovators across the centuries. It blends detailed technical achievements with personal stories to inspire readers interested in the history of technology, gender diversity, and modern digital innovations.
