Description
Code, Circuits and Coffee Stains | by J. J. Jonas
A lively tribute to pioneering women in technology, including Margaret Hamilton, Grace Hopper, Radia Perlman, Ada Lovelace, and Annie Easley. Blending history with humor, the poem celebrates the programmers and innovators whose ideas helped send astronauts to the moon, build modern computer networks, and transform technology, often while working in fields that barely acknowledged their contributions.
Napkin Engineers | by J. J. Jonas
Inspired by the women working on Ford’s Willow Run assembly lines during World War II, this humorous narrative follows two factory workers who sketch an ingenious production improvement on a lunchroom napkin. Their simple idea challenges the men running the plant and demonstrates that innovation often comes from the people actually doing the work, proving that ingenuity doesn’t require a title, a degree, or even a proper sheet of paper.
