Brotopia: Breaking Up the Boys' Club of Silicon Valley

A bit of a popular topic these days - Chang covers some of the issues with the culture of Silicon Valley that excludes women - not only by hiring practices but also by the way that decisions are made.

I found this book to be depressing and hopeful at the same time. The narrative takes us through the history of high tech - with early female success followed by some disturbing stereotype creation. It seems like the ending is optimistic.

Women can succeed and lead in tech. I'd recommend reading it if you want more details on some of the stories that we've heard in the news lately or if you are in tech. I don't think the issues are completely limited to Silicon Valley or computer tech. Women engineers everywhere can probably relate.
