Women Hackers - Reportage (Berlin, 2005)
Video on women hackers realized by the team of Tracks Magazine/Arte TV 
in occasion of the "Hack.it.art, Hacktivism in the Context of Art and 
Media in Italy" exhibition (Berlin, 2005).

"In our good old man cyberspace, it should be recognized that the  image 
of the women is one-sided. Their body generally plays a part  much more 
important than their head. It looks still sadder in the  hacker scene, 
the avant-garde of the data-processing culture. Tracks  went to the 
annual meeting of Chaos Computer Club, where the elite of  the hacking 
exchanges and shares the newest knowledge. 98% of the  participants were 
men. But there are some exceptions..."
