内容简介
······
Silicon Valley is a modern utopia where anyone can change the world. Unless you're a woman.
For women in tech, Silicon Valley is not a fantasyland of unicorns, virtual reality rainbows, and 3D-printed lollipops, where millions of dollars grow on trees. It's a "Brotopia," where men hold all the cards and make all the rules. Vastly outnumbered, women face toxic workplaces rife with discrimination and sexual harassment, where investors take meetings in hot tubs and colleagues network over lunch at the local strip club.
In this powerful exposé, Bloomberg TV journalist Emily Chang reveals how Silicon Valley got so sexist despite its utopian ideals, why bro culture endures despite decades of companies claiming the moral high ground (Don't Be Evil! Connect the World!)–and how women are finally starting to speak out and fight back.
Drawing on her deep network of Silicon Valley insiders, Chang opens the boardroom doors of male-dominated venture capital firms like Kleiner Perkins, the subject of Ellen Pao's high-profile gender discrimination lawsuit, and Sequoia, where a partner once famously said they "won't lower their standards" just to hire women. Interviews with Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki, and former Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer–who got their start at Google, where just one in five engineers is a woman–reveal just how hard it is to crack the Silicon Ceiling. And Chang shows how women such as former Uber engineer Susan Fowler, entrepreneur Niniane Wang, and game developer Brianna Wu, have risked their careers and sometimes their lives to pave a way for other women.
Silicon Valley's aggressive, misogynistic, work-at-all costs culture has shut women out of the greatest wealth creation in the history of the world. It's time to break up the boys' club. Emily Chang shows us how to fix this toxic culture–to bring down Brotopia, once and for all.

满怀期待读了这本书，想要了解科技行业男女不平等问题，可惜作者的论述大都没有足够的事实支撑，更像是为说理而寻找例子。书里大部分主题都被谈过很多次，作者只是做了一个汇总，没有进一步讨论背后的起因，以及可能的解决办法。假如你对新闻、观点集合有兴趣，可以一读。
我真的觉得她一直在rant…各种expose问题但没啥constructive feedback
Full of democratic diversity BS. Society should promote equal opportunity, not equal outcome.
听到最后一章竟然有点misty eyes…想到我大学时候的CS 教授 爱搞笑的白人爷爷 几十年教学生涯 每个学期招undergraduate tutor的时候都要亲自过目男女比例 会go out of his way to hire more female tutors. 在他手下三年 他像一个sponsor 一直推动我们前进 不仅push我们找实习 也会利用在科技公司的人脉给我们拉来内推面…
