Megan Smith CTO of the United States of America, “There are these incredible photographs from the launch of the Macintosh in the 80’s, and the Rolling Stone pictures that were published. The historic record shows this group of 10 people in a pyramid–actually 11, seven men and four women. Every photograph you see with the Mac team has Joanna Hoffman, who was the product manager, a great teammate of Steve Jobs, and Susan Kare who did all the graphics and user interface on the artist side. None of them made it into the Jobs movie. They’re not even cast. And every man in the photographs is in the movie with a speaking role. It’s debilitating to our young women to have their history almost erased.”
Shameful representation of Women in the upcoming Steve Jobs movie.
Not sure why more people aren’t talking about this. There are women in this world who made it possible to live our lives in a technological world who are being written out of history by films. Nothing new here but really shameful.
