It's time for the Tech Women Celebration 50
If it’s role models you’re looking for, you’re in the right place
Girls and young women need tech role models to inspire them and show them what's possible in a career with technology at its heart.
Too often, though, the role models they're directed towards are business executives like Sheryl Sandberg and Susan Wojcicki, or pioneering women scientists and mathematicians like Marie Curie or Ada Lovelace who are both brilliant - and dead.
Girls and women need relatable role models, so here are 50 of them - one for each year of Computing. The inaugural Tech Women Celebration 50 showcases the women making waves in all areas of tech right now. They might be developers or data engineers, analysts or scientists, infrastructure architects, CIOs or CEOs.
What the Tech Women Celebration 50 all have in common is that they're changing the ratio of the tech workforce and are fantastic, relatable role models for those at earlier stages of their careers or in education.
Each of these entries showcases a woman enjoying a fulfilling, never boring and usually pretty well-paid career in technology.
