Abstract
The collective FemTechNet produced this video about a group at the University of Illinois in the 1990s known as WITS, Women, Information Technology, and Scholarship. Four former WITS members—Jenny Barrett, Leigh Estabrook, Gail Hawisher, and Angharad Valdivia--discuss with Sharon Irish the role of WITS on campus and in the broader IT world. Filmed in September 2013 in Urbana-Champaign.
