I’m Linda. Emeritus Professor at the University of Manchester,UK, Fellow of the British Computer Society, I’ve been coding since 1967 and have recently published my memoir. I’m a wife, mother, grandma, STEM ambassador and OG Girl Geek. ‘Does your husband expect his tea on the table when he gets in from work?’ – a question I was asked when being interviewed for a job as Applications Programmer. I was 23yrs old with a degree and masters in computing and yet it was the fact that I was a married woman that was at the forefront of his mind. It couldn’t happen now or could it? Can a woman be technically minded, want to be financially independent and still be a good wife and mother? I tried to be that woman and this is my story. A story of tension between old and new, between career and family, between the quest to keep apace of technology while retaining humanity – about explaining why who codes matters and why more of us should be women. I’m an Emeritus Professor of System Design at the University of Manchester, England, specialising in Human–computer interaction, Requirements engineering.
