Praise for How to Be a Woman in Technology "We live in a day and age when more women in technology really are achieving greater success, rising to senior leadership positions and driving more innovation in their fields. The women who share their stories in these pages fit that mold, and they didn't get there without creativity, resourcefulness, and grit. Their willingness to introspectively share their raw fears, vulnerabilities, challenges, and successes with Cheryl, who communicates those stories so clearly and folds in her own insights, results in a very powerful, inspiring book." --Dina Moskowitz, CEO, SaaSMAX Corp.
