I wouldn’t call it a silver lining, but with more women speaking up, online harassment is beginning to be taken more seriously.

I’m no stranger to a bit of sexist backlash, but I was surprised by the level of vicious and misogynist hate I received.

I am not a fan of video games, I had to learn a lot about them. I would love to play video games, but I don’t want to go around shooting people, and ripping off their heads, and it’s just gross.

When we look at these historical women and what they've gone through, it's shocking to recognize some of our own experiences in theirs.

Today, her legacy of being the first programmer is stil disputed.

One of the most radical things you can do, is to actually believe women when they tell you about their experiences.
