"This film shows how two of the most important social forces of the late 20th century - information technology and the women's movement - have run parallel and sometimes intersected. Using archival footage and the latest computer graphic imagery of women and by women, Minerva's Machine celebrates the history of women in computing and shows the challenges they have overcome to get to the top. Among the women highlighted are a virtual reality researcher, a corporate executive who controlled $7 billion, and a housewife who taught herself programming and became director of an academic computing center."
