In through the Side Door - Fifty Years of Women in Interaction Design

The vital story of how women designers and researchers pioneered the field of interaction and user experience design for software and digital interfaces. Framed against the backdrop of contemporary waves of feminism and the history of computing design, Malone takes the reader through the invention of the world wide web, the third wave of feminism, and on to the dot com boom and bust. Coming up to contemporary times, the book features the work of women working on the web, designing equipment interfaces, working in voice UX, mobile design, civic design, and continues with the up-and-coming leaders driving social impact, changing human-centered design and research, and working to be accountable for the harms contemporary software produces. Along the way, the author also touches on the challenges and biases women have faced in the workplace and continue to face despite cultural and sociological advancements.
