Welcome!

The Technobabe Times is dedicated to the empowerment of women in all aspects of technology.

Welcome to the next frontier of Technobabe Times (TBT)--blogspace. This blog is to serve as an dynamic community dedicated to the empowerment of women. Multiple writers will be sharing this lovely pink space. TBT has always been a reflection of the women and men who called themselves part of TBT. Life's circumstances have scattered Technobabes far and wide across the globe; however, many of us alum have missed the creative outlet and fellowship that TBT offered. These discussions led to the creation of this blog. Its rather ironic that we waited this long to create a constant web presence. Well we're here now and look forward to the future of TBT as it grows into its next medium.

A short history of Technobabe. It was started in 1998 on the campus of Michigan Technological University in Houghton, Michigan by Davina Pallone as a reaction to the very male atmosphere of the college. More about the beginnings of TBT can be read at the archive for the print edition. It went dormant till it was revived in 2001 by Anna Swartz where it has flourished since then. TBT has not only been MTU's feminist press, but has served as a community group. TBT has produced the Vagina Monologues several times which raised funds for local women's shelters.

Stay tuned for posts from Technobabes!
