Listing: “Notable Women in Computing” Playing Cards – GHC14

As of January 2015, these cards are available for sale on Notable Technical Women. See the 3 January 2019 listing for the updated 4th edition.

This is my second blog post featuring cards from the “Notable Women in Computing” Playing Cards set. Professor Susan Rodger (Duke University), my daughter Jessica Dickinson Goodman, and I sent them off to be manufactured for delivery at the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women and Computing (aka GHC14) next week. This work is associated with the long-term “CRA-W and Anita Borg Institute Wikipedia Project – Writing Wikipedia Pages for Notable Women in Computing” project.  We encourage you to use this information to write or improve Wikipedia pages – especially creating new pages about remarkable women who have none!

Duke University and Everwise are sponsors. The full card listing follows. Cards will be for sale $6/deck (our cost) at the GHC14 Duke University table (8 October to 10 October 2014) – one deck per person!

23 October 2014 note: Please watch the Kickstarter video about why we picked these 54 women from among all of the remarkable technical women.

The Notable Women in Computer Science project is a labor of love for the women behind it, which is why we are licensing the card deck under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 U.S. License. We have done a number of things to ensure this deck only helps, and does not hurt, women in computing. Our efforts included: using public domain images, seeking individual permission for images, seeking to represent the reality of diversity of women in computing, and seeking input on the project from women leaders in technology.

If you have a concern (don’t like the public domain photo we found of you, don’t think the photo you took can be licensed in the way we did, decided you did not want to be included, want to provide a better photo or more correct text) we want to know and we will do our best to help you. Please contact Katy Dickinson (katy dot dickinson at gmail dot com) with questions.
