International Women’s Day in Mallow
To celebrate IWD 2023 on Wednesday March 8th , Mallow Library invite
females to visit the Library to celebrate this year’s theme - Cracking the
Code: Innovation for a gender-equal future. This theme emphasizes the
importance of bold, transformative ideas, inclusive technologies, and
accessible education in combating discrimination and the marginalization
of women globally.
Technology is a field that is often thought of as male-dominated, and
though men do seem to be the face of modern technology, women have
been innovating, inventing, and leading the way to new advancements
for just as long as men have. In fact Most of the first computer
programmers were women, including Ada Lovelace, who invented the
science of computer programming between 1842 and 1843.
In an effort to show why women can and should succeed in computer
science, we are promoting technology and how it can have a positive
effect on women. Mallow Library have a small present for women
dressed in purple on the day that illustrates how technology has assisted
women’s lives (while stocks last).
