For centuries – despite facing numerous challenges and obstacles – women have continued to push forward, breaking down barriers and paving the way for future generations. Pioneering minds such as Ada Lovelace, Grace Hopper, Hedy Lamarr & Annie Easley are just a few examples of incredible female innovators that continue to inspire us today.

Numerous remarkable stories exist of women who achieved incredible feats in the field of technology, including Judith Love Cohen. As an aerospace engineer, Cohen contributed to the Apollo space program’s Abort-Guidance System, which ensured the safe return of astronauts. Besides being a brilliant engineer, she was a mother of four, and when she was in labour with her last child, she took to the hospital a computer printout of the problem she was working on. Later that day, she phoned her chief and reported that she had solved the problem. To top that, her baby happened to be Jack Black, an American actor, comedian, and musician.

This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to inspiring stories of women in technology, and with each passing year, these achievements are only becoming more significant. In addition to being leaders in innovation, female technologists have had major impacts on advocating for diversity and inclusion within their workplaces.

At SwissCognitive, we are dedicated to celebrating and amplifying the accomplishments and impact of women in technology, especially today in honour of International Women’s Day. We believe that it is essential for us to recognize their vital contributions and promote a level playing field where anyone can have equal access to opportunities regardless of gender or background.

Join us as we highlight the stories of women who have made a difference, from trailblazers of the past to the rising stars of today – and explore newsworthy developments in women’s tech.
