by Emily Chang
Chang, a Bloomberg television anchor, uses more than two hundred interviews to document how Silicon Valley became the most male-dominated sector of the knowledge economy, from hiring culture to venture capital to sex parties. The book argues that the industry's gender ratio was a deliberate historical construction, not a natural outcome.
