Thanks for this. To confirm, I have no relationship to technology magazine, I was motivated to take to wikipedia to post females acknowledgements. I would like to know what exactly was wrong with my posts, is it wrong to cite that females have been recognised in tech? Surely we want more females to get into tech, and for those making an impact to know about recognition.
