It's Women's History Month — and this year, honoring women's contributions feels less like a celebration and more like an act of resistance. That's why celebrating women's achievements is more important than ever. So in this episode, I want to introduce you to someone who shaped the way we all experience technology, even if you've never heard her name: Susan Kare.

Her visuals were emulated across the industry, and their legacy is still hugely influential today. Back in 2021, I joined Sam and Anney at Stuff Mom Never Told You to dig into Susan Kare's legacy — where she came from, what she built, and why it still matters.
