Preferred term

Esther Dyson  

Definition

  • 1951– Computer Industry Analyst, Entrepreneur Esther Dyson was referred to in a 1993 Wired magazine article as the most powerful female in the computer industry, even though she does not own and is not an executive at any of the major computer or Internet companies. Instead, her influence has stemmed largely (though not entirely) from her powerful intelligence and her writings, which date back to a four-year stint as a fact-checker and reporter at Forbes magazine beginning in 1974. [Source: Encyclopedia of New Media; Dyson, Esther]
