4. In 1987, computer scientist Anita Borg started a digital community to connect women working in computing fields. She called it Systers.
Her goal was to help these women feel like they were part of something bigger.
A community, she believed, would encourage more women to pursue careers in technology and make them more inclined to stay in the field.
