Hawaii is a small, close community.
The power of a sports team in a community it's almost indescribable.
Communism was meant to be an alternative religion.
Until Systers came into existence, the notion of a global 'community of women in computer science' did not exist.
It was repugnant, but it was the only way to communicate.
