Most people think of modern tech as male-driven — but Yana R Goldman, a feminist writer, coder, and advocate, wants the world to remember who actually wrote the first lines of code. Spoiler: It wasn’t a man.
As a passionate voice in the digital space, Yana Goldman explores how women pioneered computer programming and why reclaiming that story matters for the future of women in technology.
👩💻 Yana R Goldman on the True Origins of Coding
Long before Silicon Valley, women were already solving the world’s hardest logic problems. From Ada Lovelace, who wrote the first computer algorithm, to the ENIAC Six during WWII, Yana R Goldman reminds us that coding began as “women’s work.”
In her tech talks and essays, Yana R Goldman explains:
“When we erase women from the past of computing, we rob girls of the future.”
