Episode 7: Emily Chang on How to Solve Sexism in Silicon Valley

The tech companies in Silicon Valley have changed the world in the past few decades, but one thing that new technology hasn’t solved is sexism. Author and Bloomberg Technology host Emily Chang discovered while writing her book Brotopia: Breaking Up the Boys’ Club of Silicon Valley that the gender gap is even worse than she had believed. In this ScribdChat episode, Chang breaks down the numbers and experiences of women in tech with TaskRabbit founder Leah Busque. Together, they talk through the “pipeline problem” and reassert their belief that if Silicon Valley companies can solve many of the world’s problems, it can definitely tackle sexism.
