Wogrammer
Wogrammer is a nonprofit organization that amplifies the voices of women in engineering around the world. It aims to break stereotypes of women engineers.[1] Rather than highlighting horror stories of working in tech, Wogrammer writes about accomplishments of women in tech.[2] Wogrammer is a play on the slang Brogrammer.
They have interviewed hundreds of women engineers on every continent and their stories reach 4 million people a year. The established 501(c)(3) organization was founded in 2014 by Erin Summers and Zainab Ghadiyal.[3][4][5][6][7]
Notable Wogrammers[clarification needed] include Mary Lou Jepsen (founder of One Laptop Per Child),[citation needed] Brina Lee (first female programmer at Instagram),[citation needed] Megan Smith (CTO of the United States),[citation needed] Caitlin Kalinowski (Head of Harware at Oculus VR,[lower-roman 1] and Dona Sarkar, (head of Windows Insider Program).[9]
