No Web Without Women
Much of the Web we use today exists because of contributions by women who invented, coded, and designed it. This website is an interactive catalog listing various web technologies and honoring the women who helped make them happen.
For example, the first ever web browser on the Mac was created by Nicola Pellow.
As an undergraduate math student, Nicola Pellow joined the nineteen members of the WWW Project at Switzerland's CERN in 1990. Building off her colleague's work, Pellow contributed to the creation of a web browser compatible across many operating systems. Upon its launch in May 1991, she continued to help increase compatibility, making web browsing more broadly available to users around the world. After finishing her studies, Pellow returned to work with CERN and helped create the first web browser for the classic MacOS on Apple computers, called MacWWW.
