'The space seeing the most action is one called 'femtech'.'
We know that technology has historically been a field dominated by men. But things are starting to change. Whether they’re helping you learn about your body, or arming you with the tools to navigate the internet better, a whole swath of female coders, makers and engineers are making sure the technology we interact with works for everyone – not just men.
On Mother’s Day in 2017, Elvie put inflatable breasts around Shoreditch in London as part of their #FreeTheFeed campaign to fight the stigma around breastfeeding and pumping in public. Although femtech is growing, there are other spaces that female technologists are moving into to make sure that technology works for everyone. One of those spaces is voice technology. Charlotte Webb is an ethical tech consultant who founded Feminist Internet, a non-profit organisation that aims to fight technological and internet inequalities.
Much of the fight about getting more women in technology – more women of colour, of race, of sexual orientations and abilities – is about making sure that during this period of technological innovation, there are women making, engineering and coding technology to make it work for them, too.
