ABSTRACT
In 1969, six years after the 1963 publication of The Feminine Mystique, Betty Friedan’s groundbreaking book that exposed the limitations American society imposed on women, computer scientists at UCLA, Stanford, University of California at Santa Barbara, and the University of Utah linked computers to a network called the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network or ARPANET (Ceruzzi, 2003, pp. 194, 259). This network made it possible for computer scientists to send and receive data across the country.
