It's a fabulous day when I can flop on my couch at night, turn on the tube, and instead of seeing Vanna Whites and Kelly Kapowskis, I'm rewarded with brainy and beautiful ladies: the geek girls of TV. Whether they were my role models and have since been canceled or are ushering in new traditions of a female archetype, I can't stop watching them (and wanting to be them)! So here they are, in no particular order.
I hope you didn't feel discouraged about being a girl geek by that article awhile back that reported
women find technology jobs boring. Buck up, you — not only do you have geeksugar here at your service, there are plenty of fabulous precedents for you like Google's
Marissa Mayer, Lifehacker founder and coder
Gina Trapani, and a 19th-century girl geek: Ada Lovelace.
Born in 1815 in London, Ada Lovelace is known as the first programmer.
Look what I found in this month's issue of
Domino! It's geeksugar favorite eco blogger Jill Fehrenbacher! We swooned over the
perfect geeky coupling of Jill and Engadget's
Peter Rojas last year, and now, the happily-married
Inhabitat founder
has been profiled in Domino's ongoing "My Green Life" series — which shows a day in the life of an eco-conscious person.
Last month we featured some of the cutest
geeky couples and bachelors in the blogoshere, which left many of you wondering - what about the women? Fear not my fine friends, we were just saving the best for last. March is Women's History Month so I figured there was no better way to celebrate than to highlight some of the smartest, most creative and successful women on the internet.
