Review
The technology sector continues to grow, generating billions of dollars in revenues worldwide. Yet women in tech are still being left behind. The number of women in the technology industry has declined since its peak in the 1990s due to “hostile work environments,” the gender wage gap and lack of opportunity. But authors Heather Cabot and Samantha Walravens chart a sea change. They profile women leaders, mentors and investors who are forming networks, holding hackathons and raising funds for a rising generation of “geek girls.” The authors’ information will be valuable to women who envision building a future in tech industries. Their optimistic, thorough report will lend a welcome hand to any woman contemplating a future in the tech industry or trying to figure out how and where to pitch her start-up ideas.
