I did not grow up thinking that I wanted to be an engineer. I had read some articles about girls becoming increasingly scientifically illiterate and that girls lacked confidence in their capabilities when it came to quantitative skills. And I just thought that was kind of wrong.

When I was in school, there was no such thing as girls' athletics.

It doesn't help to just get women's opinions and then turn them over to an all-white-male engineering team.

Corporate engineers have looked at how women are with each other, borrowing the best tips from female neighborhood culture and then transporting them back into the bosom of capitalism. They've feminized capitalism.

There is no reason to continue to fail our girls.

We need Hollywood to make movies and television shows about sexy female engineers.

I never felt any issues whatsoever about being a woman in Tech.

If you didn't join for the girls, choose another profession.

Let's face it: Engineering companies in general have more men than women. Google has tried really hard to recruit women. On the other hand, we have a standard. Google tries to recruit the best engineers.

Companies like I.B.M. have offered women scholarships to study engineering for years, and women engineers routinely get higher starting salaries than men.
