When Woman Is Boss: Tesla On Wifi And Gender Equality

In 1926, John B. Kennedy published an interview with Nikola Tesla in Colliers magazine entitled “When Woman Is Boss.” Tesla predicted an era of gender equality and the empowerment of women through wireless technology. “It is clear to any trained observer . . . the struggle of the human female toward sex equality will end in a new sex order, with the female as superior. . . . It is not in the shallow physical imitation of men that women will assert first their equality and later their superiority, but in the awakening of the intellect of women.” Tesla believed this would be facilitated by wireless connectivity and education.
