Not nearly as prestigious as those above, but I wrote a short post today about one amazing woman, Gilly Leshed, who inspired me to venture into academic motherhood. It can be found here: http://bit.ly/c3xIwx

Our Ada Lovelace Day blog can be found here: http://womenintechnology.wordpress.com/2010/03/24/ada-lovelace-day/
I know the idea was to blog about a woman in IT that I admire but over the past few years I’ve met so many impressive women from the technology world that it was impossible to pick just one to blog about. So instead I wrote about ‘the ultimate woman in IT’ – what qualities and characteristics I admire in female technologists and have seen in many women that I have met and they: skilled, strong, sharing, nice(!), passion and supportive.
