Generally found behind the screens, they\u2019ve brought us the World Wide Web that we know today. Critics say that these women were <strong>not given enough recognition for their efforts<\/strong> unlike the men and in many instances, they are right. Not to say that all of them go unnoticed but you might not have heard of some or most of them.

Radia Perlman<\/h2>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/women-changed-internet\/radiaperlman.jpg\" alt=\"Radia Perlman\" width=\"500\" height=\"359\"><\/figure>\n<p>This list wouldn\u2019t be complete if we don\u2019t revisit history and include Radia Perlman who is widely hailed as <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/technology\/archive\/2014\/03\/radia-perlman-dont-call-me-the-mother-of-the-internet\/284146\/?single_page=true\">the Mother of the Internet<\/a>. Perlman is most famous for <strong>creating the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Spanning-tree_protocol\">spanning-tree protocol<\/a> (STP)<\/strong>. STP bridges two computer networks so that they can exchange information. You can see its usage in Local Area Networks (LAN) where many computers are accessing one network and the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ethernet\">Ethernet<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>STP made the Internet possible, as it allows the Ethernet to handle large amounts of information being exchanged and stored which set the precedent of cloud computing. As a <strong>software designer and network engineer<\/strong>, Perlman is also credited with inventing the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/TRILL_(Computer_Networking)\">Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links<\/a> (TRILL) to make up for STP\u2019s shortcomings.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Elizabeth Feinler<\/h2>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/women-changed-internet\/elizabethfeinler.jpg\" alt=\"Elizabeth Feinler\" width=\"500\" height=\"324\"><\/figure>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/2012\/06\/elizabeth-jake-feinler\/\">Wired<\/a> described Elizabeth Feinler as the person \u201cbefore Google and GoDaddy\u201d. Feinler is considered the <strong>pioneer of the Internet<\/strong> when she was the Director of the Network Information Center (NIC) at the Standford Research Institute (SRI) from 1972 to 1989. She also managed the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/ARPANET\">ARPANET<\/a>, the network that connected various research centers across the country, which was seen as the predecessor to the Internet.<\/p>\n<p>Feinler was more commonly known as Jake, a nickname given by her sister that stuck. In managing the NIC, Feinler <strong>oversaw the creation and registration of Internet addresses or URLs<\/strong>. It first started out manually with Feinler and her team maintaining and publishing directories of people. The resources were distributed via snail mail and was also available through a telephone hotline the team set up.<\/p>\n<p>Over time as the Internet evolved, the NIC came up with the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Domain_Name_System\">Dormain Name System<\/a> (DNS). DNS maintains the naming scheme of URLs such as .com, .edu, .gov, .mil, .net, .org as well as translating domain names into IP adresses. Needless to say, these contributions of hers are still in use today.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Caterina Fake<\/h2>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/women-changed-internet\/caterinafake.jpg\" alt=\"Caterina Fake\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\"><\/figure>\n<p>Caterina Fake <strong>co-founded with her husband Stewart Butterfield popular photo-sharing site <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/\">Flickr<\/a><\/strong> in 2004. Yahoo! then acquired Flickr in 2005. Before Flickr came about, photo-sharing meant sending your pictures through email. And you know how sending photos via email was years ago when emails couldn\u2019t handle attaching photos in bulk.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the existence of Flickr also brought about the <strong>advent of many of Web 2.0\u2019s features<\/strong> like social networking, tagging, algorithms that bring up popular content, and community open APIs. Interestingly the site was meant to be a multi-player gaming site until lack of funds spurred Fake and her husband to change tack.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Mitchell Baker<\/h2>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/women-changed-internet\/mitchellbaker.jpg\" alt=\"Mitchell Baker\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\"><\/figure>\n<p>If it weren\u2019t for Mitchell Baker, most of us would still be browsing the Web with Internet Explorer. As Executive Chairwoman of the Mozilla Foundation and Mozilla Corporation, Baker <strong>led part of Netscapes team on the Mozilla project<\/strong>. The project, as you can tell from the name, birthed the open source web browser, Mozilla Firefox, which made the Internet experience safe and stable.<\/p>\n<p>Trained as a lawyer, Baker used her expertise to <strong>create Netscape\u2019s open source license<\/strong>, making it free as well as the basis of Mozilla\u2019s public license. It helped pave an era of open source software and inspired open source projects such as GitHub, HTML5 and Android.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Rashmi Sinha<\/h2>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/women-changed-internet\/rashmisinha.jpg\" alt=\"Rashmi Sinha\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\"><\/figure>\n<p>If it wasn\u2019t for India-born Rashmi Sinha, there wouldn\u2019t be <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/\">SlideShare<\/a>. Sinha caught the Web bug when she was researching on <strong>how search engine optimization as well as algorithms<\/strong> <strong>work<\/strong> t<strong>o help push recommended content <\/strong>at the University of California, Berkeley. After her research, she went on to start a user-experience consultancy Uzanto which provided services to companies such as eBay, AAA, and Blue Shield.<\/p>\n<p>In 2006, Sinha and her husband Jon Boutelle <strong>co-founded SlideShare<\/strong>. She became its CEO while her husband is the CTO. As you know, the site makes it possible to share PowerPoint slides online without the need of a presenter. SlideShare\u2019s <strong>user-based community and user-friendliness<\/strong> draws people to discover new content as well as generates its own traffic. In 2012, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/women2.com\/2012\/05\/03\/linkedin-to-acquire-slideshare-for-118m\/\">LinkedIn acquired<\/a> the presentation-sharing site for over $100 million.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Leah Culver<\/h2>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/women-changed-internet\/leahculver.jpg\" alt=\"Leah Culver\" width=\"500\" height=\"335\"><\/figure>\n<p>You may not have heard of social networking site <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pownce\">Pownce,<\/a> as it met its early demise in 2008. Many attributed it to the acquisition by software company Six Apart, who was <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mashable.com\/2008\/12\/01\/pownce-demise\/\">after the talented staff<\/a> of Pownce, which was then Twitter\u2019s biggest competitor. What almost nobody focused on is that <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mixergy.com\/interviews\/pownce-leah-culver\/\">it\u2019s possibly the reason<\/a> <strong>why Facebook and Twitter is now able to share and attach links, files, photos and videos on their platforms<\/strong>. And the women behind it is Leah Culver.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly Culver switched her art major for computer programming when studying at the University of Minnesota. A year after she graduated in 2006, she launched Pownce with Kevin Rose and Daniel Burka. Culver is the <strong>lead developer for Pownce<\/strong> having created the site from scratch using the Python programming language.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Marissa Mayer<\/h2>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/women-changed-internet\/marissamayer.jpg\" alt=\"Marissa Mayer\" width=\"500\" height=\"310\"><\/figure>\n<p>Currently, Marissa Mayer is the president and CEO of Yahoo!. Before that however, everyone knew her as Google\u2019s employee number 20 in 1999 and the search engine\u2019s first female engineer. Anyone who is tech news savvy will know that Mayer <strong>worked on a slew of Google services that we all use<\/strong>. Among them are Google Search, Google News, Google Images, and Google Chrome.<\/p>\n<p>Her <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2009\/03\/01\/business\/01marissa.html\">attention to detail<\/a> and <strong>user-first mindset <\/strong>contributed to the look and feel of these products. She was so good at her job that she became Vice President of Search Products and User Experience. In <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bits.blogs.nytimes.com\/2010\/10\/12\/google-search-executive-marissa-mayer-takes-a-new-job\/\">her final two years at Google<\/a>, she was made Vice President of Local, Maps, and Location Services. In this division, she oversaw the engineering and design of Google Maps, Google Earth, Street View and local search for both web and mobile.<\/p>\n<h2>8. Mena Trott<\/h2>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/women-changed-internet\/menatrott.jpg\" alt=\"Mena Trott\" width=\"500\" height=\"292\"><\/figure>\n<p>Mena Trott made it possible for us aspiring writers to start out by blogging. In fact, she <strong>made it easy to blog<\/strong>. Trott co-founded <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/movabletype.com\/\">Six Apart<\/a> with now former husband Benjamin in 2001 that specializes in developing blogging software. The company came up with <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.movabletype.com\/\">Movable Type<\/a> in 2001, a blogging software that is similar to and precedes WordPress.<\/p>\n<p>Before Six Apart and Movable Type, blogging meant hard-coding your own online diary. In 2003, Trott and her team came up with blog hosting service, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.typepad.com\/\">TypePad<\/a>, based on Movable Type\u2019s software and features <strong>easy-to-use blogging tools<\/strong>. Some of the tools include multiple author support, photo albums and mobile blogging. Six Apart eventually came up with blogging platform Vox and acquired Livejournal before it finally joined forces with VideoEgg to become <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/SAY_Media\">SAY Media<\/a> in 2010.<\/p>\n<h2>9. Susan Wojcicki<\/h2>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/women-changed-internet\/susanwojcicki.jpg\" alt=\"Susan Wojcicki\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\"><\/figure>\n<p>Another Google employee, Susan Wojcicki was responsible for <strong>selling ads on the search engine giant<\/strong>. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/3033534\/rebooting-youtube\">Recently made the CEO of YouTube<\/a> in February 2014, Wojcicki used to lead Google\u2019s Advertising and Commerce division.
