Computer Chronicles S03E03 - Women in Computing

In this 1985 episode of The Computer Chronicles, hosts Stewart Cheifet and Gary Kildall examine the underrepresentation of women in computing and the cultural forces behind it. Featuring Thelma and Judy Estrin, Adele Goldberg, and Jan Lewis, the show explores how stereotypes, early education, and marketing discouraged girls from entering technology — while highlighting role models who broke barriers. The program also profiles efforts like the Equals Program at UC Berkeley and the Women’s Computer Literacy Project that helped women and girls embrace computing as both a tool and a career path. 👩‍💻 Topics covered: • Early exposure to computers and gender bias in education • The Estrin family: mother-daughter pioneers in computer engineering • Role models and representation for women in tech • Marketing biases and male-oriented software design • Software like Cave Girl Clare and Gertrude’s Secrets aimed at girls • The Equals Program and Women’s Computer Literacy Project • Social conditioning and gender-based learning differences • Women founders creating their own tech companies • Calls for equality and inclusion in computing careers #TheComputerChronicles #retrotech #WomenInComputing #GaryKildall #StewartCheifet #AdeleGoldberg #JudyEstrin #JanLewis #ThelmaEstrin #UC Berkeley #RetroComputing #retrotv
