Women of Tech

by David Meyer

“Geek girls” – that is, female tech entrepreneurs – are fostering the next generation of women in tech.

 

Former ABC News anchor Heather Cabot is a professor at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. Journalist Samantha Walravens edited TORN: True Stories of Kids, Career and the Conflict of Modern Motherhood. Together they address a dilemma: Although the technology sector continues to grow, the number of women in that industry has declined since the 1990s due to “hostile work environments,” the gender wage gap and lack of opportunity.
