In The Prince of Annwn, the seeds of future tragedy are planted.

The author of the classic Mabinogian, the great compendium of medieval Welsh mythology, is unknown to us, but generations have thrilled to the magical tales set at a time when men and gods mingled, and the gods had more than met their match, tales of the wizard prince Gwydion, of Prince Pwyll and Lord Death, and of the beautiful Rhiannon and the steadfast Branwen. ![]()

One section covers 1970s Bay Area digital bulletin board project Resource One, led by Berkeley computer science dropout Pam Hardt-English. It profiles some familiar figures, including Lovelace and Hopper, but it quickly jumps into fascinating lesser-known projects. ![]() A more nuanced version includes pioneers like Ada Lovelace and Grace Hopper, who helped invent programming as we know it, or NASA’s “human computers.” But that narrative consigns women’s influence to the very beginning of computing history, dramatically contrasting them with today’s male-dominated Silicon Valley.īroad Band offers a rougher and more complicated version of the past. One is simplistic and linear: men built computers and the internet, and now women are struggling to break in. ![]() There are a couple of omnipresent narratives for the history of women in tech.
