Hi list members, In case you haven't already seen David Streitfeld's controversial NYTimes piece this weekend, here it is<http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/03/technology/lawsuit-against-kleiner-perkins-is-shaking-silicon-valley.html?_r=4&pagewanted=1&seid=auto&smid=tw-nytimes>. The controversy stems from his lede, "MEN invented the Internet'. You may also be interested in the response from tech journalist Xeni Jardin<http://boingboing.net/2012/06/03/nyt-men-invented-the-inter.html> . I also wrote a response piece about the controversy from an historical perspective for Ms. Magazine<http://msmagazine.com/blog/blog/2012/06/04/the-women-and-people-of-color-who-invented-the-internet/> today. Interesting to think about the history of the Internet in terms of gender and 'race' consciousness, no? Also, if any list members could recommend further reading on Internet history (including computing) that includes discussions about gender, 'race', and so forth, I'd appreciate it! Tara -- Tara L.
