Breaking Through Bytes: Women Shaping the Digital World
Autor Kelly Veroen Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 mar 2025
The book spans millennia, tracing the impact of trailblazing women in technology. In early chapters, meet historical figures from the first century to the early 1800s, whose contributions laid the groundwork for today’s advancements. Dive into stories of mixed digital artist Thea Baumann, actress and inventor Hedy Lamarr, and pioneering programmer Betty Snyder alongside virtual reality specialist Claire Blackshaw. Discover modern innovators like Kayleigh Oliver, a woman of colour waving the flag for programming all whilst balancing motherhood and tech, and Rocio Evenett, a fashion technologist revolutionising the supply chain. Whether through games, music, or Artificial Intelligence (AI), women from diverse backgrounds have continually defied conventions and reshaped industries.
Breaking Through Bytes uniquely explores women’s contributions to STEM and digital technologies, focusing on underrepresented innovators across the centuries. It blends detailed technical achievements with personal stories to inspire readers interested in the history of technology, gender diversity, and modern digital innovations.

Recenzii
"How to give voice and space to women in tech has been an ongoing priority among educators, practitioners, and policymakers. How to inspire new generations to join the STEM space is the next, related question. Kelly offers her unique contribution to both issues telling powerful stories of female pioneers in tech with her unique style. Blending her personal and professional experience with a profound knowledge of the tech space, Kelly will take curious readers by hand behind the scenes of innovations women worked tirelessly for. As an educator and researcher, as well as a mum of two girls, I can only be grateful for Kelly’s work and advocacy."
