Excellent interview by Network World with Radia Perlman who the also named one of the 20 most influential networking personalities of the last 20 years.

She talks about Networks, her spanning tree protocol and what she is doing now including working at Sun on many projects including looking at networking and security. A most interesting Lady (though she doesn’t seem to want any treatment regarding her gender either).
