Description
For the first time, the stories of the women who built the profession of technical communication have been brought together. These women helped shape how the world understands technology.
Spanning fifty years of innovation, from typewriters to personal computers to smartphones, these first-hand stories reveal how women in technical communication carved out careers, led change, and defined a field in constant motion.
Told in their own words, this anthology celebrates the pioneers who turned communication into a bridge between people and technology.
Contents
Each women featured in this book contributed an essay about her life and experience as a technical communicator. Taken together, these essays form a history of technical communication from the perspective of the women who pioneered the field as well as those who are taking technical communication into the future.
In addition, the stories of how these women met and overcame challenges and obstacles during their careers provide a road map for anyone coming into the field now.
