商品描述

The stories of America's unsung computing women, brought out of the shadows and into their rightful place in the history of technology.

The dearth of women in our histories of technology cannot be overstated. In Queens of Code, author and one of the female pioneers of computer science Eileen Buckholtz aims to set the record straight. Much as Hidden Figures revealed the role of women professionals at NASA and Code Girls illustrated the critical accomplishments of the female code breakers of World War II, Queens of Code illuminates the women who innovated in technology, contributed to national security, and expanded career opportunities for generations of women. Buckholtz presents first-hand accounts from 25 of the National Security Agency (NSA)'s computing women, revealing what it was like to work at the super-secret NSA.

The women who worked for NSA had to keep their employment a secret for over 50 years. Now, Buckholtz provides a never-before-seen look into the working lives of the women who contributed significantly to more powerful mainframe and super computers, big data processing, and innovative software. Queens of Code is a beacon and a road map for the women who will usher in the future of computing and technology.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

美國那些不為人知的女性計算機專家的故事,從陰影中走出,回到她們在科技歷史中的應有地位。

在我們的科技歷史中,女性的缺乏無法被過度強調。在《Queens of Code》中,作者及計算機科學的女性先驅之一艾琳·巴克霍茲(Eileen Buckholtz)旨在澄清這一點。正如《Hidden Figures》揭示了女性專業人士在NASA的角色,以及《Code Girls》展示了二戰期間女性破譯員的關鍵成就,《Queens of Code》則照亮了那些在科技領域創新、為國家安全做出貢獻並為幾代女性擴展職業機會的女性。巴克霍茲提供了25位國家安全局(NSA)女性計算機專家的第一手資料,揭示了在這個超級秘密的NSA工作是什麼樣的經歷。

在NSA工作的女性必須將她們的就業秘密保持超過50年。現在,巴克霍茲提供了一個前所未見的視角,讓人們了解那些對更強大的大型主機和超級計算機、大數據處理以及創新軟體做出重大貢獻的女性的工作生活。《Queens of Code》是為那些將引領計算和科技未來的女性提供的燈塔和路線圖。
