Invisible data - women and data

Kate_Baldwin · May 2019

I saw this article on the Guardian not long ago about how the gender data gap is influecing the design of products that we use everyday. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2019/feb/23/truth-world-built-for-men-car-crashes

How can we effectively close this data gap?

You can’t be what you can’t see.

We need to see more examples of women doing things with data, talking about data, and bringing a new perspective to data.

If we can see - and celebrate - more women in this space, more women will buy in. We will have little girls wanting to emulate us and we won’t need to worry about gender parity in data anymore.

Woman and Data?????

Have I got someone for y'all to check out. Here name is Cathy Hughe and she's literally traveling the world teaching others how to consume data (and oh by the way ... wine data.) https://www.linkedin.com/in/cathy-huyghe-332307/

Here is her blog site http://www.enolytics.com/enolytics101/

and here is a small snippet

Then there is Laura Madsen. https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauramadsen/

I first found out about Laura as a result of her books:

Her current work is focused on Data Quality and Data Governance. Her blog is: https://routetwentyfive.com/

Then there is my good friend Claudia Scott https://www.linkedin.com/in/claudia-scott/ who is the lead of the Qlik Center of Excellence at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and a 2019 Qlik Luminary. She is also focused on reaching young ladies in the Atlanta area to encourage data use and STEM in general.

No "manels" in my eyes when it comes to data that's for sure.
