Tuesday was Ada Lovelace Day. This is a relatively new official day to celebrate the achievements of women in Stem subjects (science, technology, engineering and maths), and especially computer science: Lovelace worked with Charles Babbage to create and program the first ever general-purpose computer. Inspired by this, I thought I'd have a quick look around for women-friendly tech audio. Women-friendly, of course, means men-friendly, in most cases. I don't believe that every man out there is panicked by the idea that some tech types are penis-free. Still, this week, I'm looking for the women.
