Here are some notable women in tech in the TIME 100, as described by another TIME-worthy notable individual:

Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook COO, 43

“Among her most radical suggestions is that if a woman wants children, her most important career decision is who her partner is, and if a man wants children, he could also raise them.”

– Gloria Steinam

Daphne Koller, Coursera co-founder, 44

“After a number of false starts, it finally looks as if online education has real traction.”

– Ezekiel Emanuel

Marissa Mayer, CEO, Yahoo, 37

“Because of everything Marissa has done and will do in the future, their search is infinitely more likely to produce positive results.”

– Eric Schmidt

Erica Kochi, Development Geek, 33

“Two young UNICEF staffers ā€” Erica Kochi and Christopher Fabian ā€” moving fast within their 66-year-old organization, have made registering a birth as easy as sending a text.”
