The subject of my newsletter #2 was Mabel Addis, a school teacher who was enlisted to work with IBM to develop narrative educational computer games in the mid 1960's.
I just published her story on the website: https://womenofixd.com/mabel-addis#womenofixd #ixddesignhistory
Newsletter #3 will come out Monday. Signup on the homepage.

Newsletter authors: Do you post your newsletter to your website? As is or reformatted? How soon from sending out as an email do you publish on your site (if you do)? I'm trying to find the right cadence of newsletter to site posting and value to subscribers. Any advice appreciated.

I've just published the profile on Ángela Ruiz Robles to my website. This was my first Deep Cuts newsletter. Coming bi-monthly to your email and then later to the website. https://womenofixd.com/angela-ruiz-robles

I started sending out my Women of IXD: Deep Cuts newsletter this week with a piece about Ángela Ruiz Robles. Bi-monthly newsletter containing the stories and profiles of the women in the field I had to cut from the book due to word-count constraints and narrative flow.
You can subscribe at the bottom of the homepage at Women of IXD - https://womenofixd.com/ - and get the stories in your inbox.
