The Rise and Fall of Silicon Alley's Cyber Rock Stars with Anna Stylianidou

  • Summary

  • In this episode, with the help of Anna, we tell the story of a brief moment in the 1990s when women were at the forefront of the nascent internet and tech scene in New York City, dubbed "Silicon Alley." It follows the journeys of three pioneering women - Stacy Horn, Marisa Bowe, and Jaime Levy - as they built innovative online communities, publications, and agencies. But as the dot-com boom intensified, corporate interests take over, eclipsing these women and transforming the web from a creative, community-driven space into a profit-driven industry. The episode highlights how these early cyber-celebrities were on the verge of defining the culture of the internet, before being pushed aside as the industry became dominated by men. It’s a fascinating look at a pivotal moment in web history when women held center stage.
