Packed with a lot of anecdotes and stories, the book does a pretty good job of making a case for the positive movement of women in tech. It's encouraging that the authors drew attention to the current problem which isn't a lack of interest or college majors, it's the mid-career dropout rate. I'm there now and having a hard time finding a reason to stay in the field so it's nice to know it's not just me.

My only complaint with the book is that while there were plenty of rags-to-riches stories, those "rags" examples were of ivy-league students and alumni. Not average university students but people who had a larger pool of resources--intellectually and financially. The one example from Salem might be the exception in the line up. It'd be great if the authors would tackle this topic again in a few years with how it plays out for women who don't have an advantage over the rest when they set out.

Still a good book that I'd recommend to others.… (plus d'informations)
