Emily Chang's debut book is an excellent discussion of the barriers women face to careers in technology in particular, and the workforce in general. I was impressed by the depth and breadth of her research for the subject and particularly by the massive number of personal interviews she conducted for the book. These interviews included often poignant, often disturbing anecdotes about the outsized role men play in Silicon Valley. The book begins with some historical context, explaining the key role of women in the early days of computer science and the rise of our increasingly technocentric society.
