We've got lots of men and Americans, women? Intl?
When I made my list, this was the first thing I thought of too, and
Joy Mountford was one woman I considered. I wish I knew more about her
contributions (paging Interaction10!).
Due to the circumstances surrounding the creation of digital products,
much of them were made in the US by men. At least from 1940-1995. (My
list stops at about 1995.) Shigeru Miyamoto, designer of many seminal
video games, is Japanese.
I'd love to fill out the list with more women and non-US contributors.
My guess is, however, is that most of those are post-1995, although
I'd love to be proven wrong.
