Back in April I wrote a post called, The 25 Most Influential Women Tweeting About Entrepreneurship. The article was very popular, so popular that one of my Twitter followers suggested that I write an article on the top women tweeting about tech. She even went so far as to give me a list of suggestions, thanks @leesabarnes.
Recently an article was published on Business Live, saying that women were emerging as the dominant users of technology… “that declining prices and new devices that helped women perform multiple roles – parent, worker, care-giver, social organiser, cleaner, cook and so on – was driving this trend”.
With technology playing such a supportive role, in the lives of work at home women everywhere, I decided it was time to give some praise to the women who have paved the way.
