There is so much talk lately about women in tech, it seems- from Joyce’s article “A Modest Proposal” (more response here) to the Girls in Tech party last week. Women2.0 has started up- and fills a real need, I think, in the South Bay and with younger women. It’s exciting that so much is going on!

I especially identified with the comments that taking time and diverting resources to learning the latest thing is VERY difficult to do when you're already hustling to make the biased salary dollar stretch. A number of men I know don't cotton to the discussion that women still make less than men because they know of a handful of women who do. But the majority is the issue here, and as a state of the union point, it is still woefully relevant. Hear hear! What she said.
