Happy International Women's Day! 💪

To mark International Women's Day we're revisiting our blog in which we celebrate the incredible contributions of women to technology.

From Ada Lovelace to Grace Hopper, the women in this article made a lasting impact on the field at a time when the industry was dominated by men.

Between them, they developed computer programming languages, invented groundbreaking technologies, and revolutionized the way we think about computing.

We're excited for the next generation of female technologists! 💻👩‍💼
