... then, many scientists were dismissive of the work Hamilton and her team were doing, so she invented the term ‘software engineer’ to describe the programs she was inventing to guide spaceships to the moon and back. In the Mad Men era, testosterone-driven atmosphere of the time, she used her wry sense of humour to disarm her detractors. When she became pregnant, her bosses told her she had to leave her job. She ignored them, and brought her young daughter to work with her. At age eighty, she’s finally getting the recognition she deserves. ”. Tess Fowler, known for her work on comic book series Rat Queens, will be both the subject of a comic in this anthology, as well as an artist on the project.

The Men Protesting Women’s Day

... to be there.”. Mr Erikson questioned why more attention was not paid to International Men’s Day on November 19. He said he is “not anti-female” and has concerns for the rights of women too, but that men are facing a “national emergency”. Signs at today’s protest also displayed the words “21 fathers”, referring to an ABF awareness campaign about the number of Australian dads it claims take their own lives each week because of separation or family access issues. Its website says this figure “came about initially as anecdotal evidence” from men’s rights organisations and support groups for men dealing with self-harm and family access issues. The organisation is focused on “improving the rights of fathers and families” and ensuring children have equal access to both parents.
