One of the first things I learned when I was reporting for my campus newspaper.

The name Susan Thunder rings a bell (so to speak). I may have been on her BBS when I was a kid. I also remember that the nerdy and misogynistic boys club of hackers in the '80s did not like her, for what I’m sure were the same depressing reasons that still keep women away from tech.
