Erin Malone begins with a handful of pioneers who brought to the field various methods from a variety of backgrounds including design, technical communication, social psychology, ethnography, information science, and mechanical engineering. Moving into the early days of desktop computing, the book highlights the women on the teams inventing contemporary desktop computer interfaces and related tools, including those at Xerox PARC, Apple’s Human Interface Group, and Microsoft.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMalone takes the reader through the invention of the World Wide Web, the third wave of feminism, and the dot-com boom and bust. Coming up to contemporary times, the book features women working on the web, designing equipment interfaces, and working in voice UX, mobile design, and civic design, and continues with the up-and-coming leaders driving social impact, changing human-centered design and research, and working to be accountable for the harms of contemporary software products. Along the way, the author also touches on the challenges and biases women have faced in the workplace and continue to encounter despite cultural and sociological advancements.Foreword: Women, Work, and Technology\u003cbr\u003eAynne Valencia\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003ePart I: 1960s—1980s: The Earliest Pioneers\u003cbr\u003e1   Interaction Design’s Evolution from Computer Programming\u003cbr\u003ePart II: 1980–1993: Personal Computing\u003cbr\u003e2   The New Graphical User Interface\u003cbr\u003e3   Beyond the Desktop\u003cbr\u003e4   Supporting the Emerging Interaction Designer\u003cbr\u003ePart III: 1993–2005: The Internet Changes Everything\u003cbr\u003e5   BBSs, the Web, and the Dot Com Boom\u003cbr\u003e6   Finding Community and Education\u003cbr\u003ePart IV: 2005–2012: The Rise of Web 2.0\u003cbr\u003e7   After the Bust\u003cbr\u003e8   The Growing World of Devices\u003cbr\u003e9   They Broke the Glass Ceiling\u003cbr\u003e10   Focused Communities and Education\u003cbr\u003e11   Conclusion\u003cbr\u003eAppendix I: Interviews and Correspondence Conducted by the Author\u003cbr\u003eAppendix II: Acronyms“Erin Malone has written a comprehensive account of women’s entry into the field of interaction design.
