Tech World Shaped by Women - 17 Hidden Heroines of Modern Tech
https://www.netguru.com/blog/women-technology-hidden-heroesWho do you think of when talking about the real beginning of social media? Mark Zuckergebrg, or Pattie Maes? While contemplating most groundbreaking discoveries, we often only hear about visionary male leaders. In reality, many of the greatest minds behind these inventions were brilliant female innovators whose stories stay hidden.
Hard work, dedication, and brilliance often don’t get as much spotlight as they deserve. This is exactly what we’re trying to change with the Hidden Heroes initiative, for which we tell the stories of the passionate individuals behind the most innovative discoveries.
This month, as we celebrate International Women’s Day, we want to bring special attention to all of the female visionaries who have shaped the tech world we know today. It is thanks to their courage, unique visions, and disruptive ideas that our world is moving forward quicker than ever.
Today, we want to pay our tribute by telling their extraordinary stories.

Sixteen Black Hidden Heroes of Modern Technology – Black History Month
As we think about the greatest pioneers of our times, we turn our heads toward visionary startup founders. Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg – we tend to associate the digital revolution with them.
Yet, in reality, many of the most revolutionary ideas happen thanks to hundreds of unseen professionals – engineers, mathematicians, creatives, and all other innovators.
It is them who push the boundaries of what’s possible and make our world a safer, healthier, and more convenient one. From complex mathematical calculations conducted by hand to the tiny app features – hidden professionals build a better future for us all.
This month, as we celebrate Black History Month, we want to draw special attention to the black innovators – the individuals that shaped our world, despite all odds, and discrimination that they had to face. Some of their tales, authored by Steven Johnson, a bestselling author, a regular contributor to The New York Times Magazine, a TED speaker, and TED Interview podcast host, were already featured within Hidden Heroes website.
