erin maloneI'm looking to collect as many origin stories of women working in software design (UX, IXD, UI, User Research, UX writing) as possible for my website Women of IXD. This is a multi-year crusade to write women back into the history of technology (through the lens of design). This is a companion to the book. What's your story? What challenges have you faced? What successes do you want to share with the world? https://womenofixd.com/whats-your-origin-story
J. Nathan Matias 🦣@erinmalone what a wonderful project! Two folks come to mind:
- Sara Kiesler, who must have been one of the first ever UX researchers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sara_Kiesler
- Cathy Marshall, who was publishing papers on hypertext years before the invention of the WWW https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/1457507.1457509
