I must admit I was surprised to read how many women there were working in prominent positions back in the 80's at Apple. Jobs was truly a pioneer.


A pioneer at getting falsely credited. Susan Kare was invited by Andy Hertzfeld, when Jef Raskin was still the leader of the Macintosh project.


Not to put words into merkleme’s mouth, but he may not have meant that Jobs himself personally all the women who worked at Apple, but rather that a culture of openness, diversity and meritocracy thrived under his leadership.


Thank you, thats exactly what I meant.
