As Pao detailed her experiences while also communicating her passion for the work men often impeded her from doing, I was nothing short of infuriated and overwhelmed because in so many ways, the misogyny she faced seems so ingrained, so pervasive, so constant, that it is hard to imagine the industry overcoming it. That said, this is also a well-written, necessary and incisive look at how pernicious misogyny is in the tech industry and the culture at large. ![]() I wanted to see more of an acknowledgment of her privilege, which in no way negates the discrimination she faced at Kleiner Perkins but at times, it was like, "I went to Princeton and I went to Harvard and my husband and I have plenty of money," and it's like, girl, reflect on that a bit, perhaps, and what it has allowed you, and then imagine what it is like to be part of the tech industry without those blessings with more than a sentence or two. There were certain moments and observations where I wanted Pao to sit and reflect more, tell us more. Overall, I wanted the book to be more rounded. I was really interested in this story about a highly accomplished woman of color negotiating the white male-dominated tech industry, having followed Pao's story in the news.
