SIGCSE Members Blog on Ada Lovelace Day!

I requested yesterday that SIGCSE members send me the url of blogs they wrote extolling women in technology. I thank the several members who responded.

You may also enjoy going through the list of links to blogs posted on the Ada Lovelace Day Site.  The blogs are categorized several ways — the list view gives  the person featured, the blog title and the blogger’s name.
