About

Brotopia

Part of the

Book Club

<club-desc-paragraph>Silicon Valley is a modern utopia where anyone can change the world. Unless you're a woman. Vastly outnumbered, women in tech face toxic workplaces rife with discrimination and sexual harassment. The aggressive, misogynistic, work-at-all costs culture has shut women out of the greatest wealth creation in the history of the world. Emily Chang provides beyond-the-book insights into why she decided to expose this “Brotopia”, how women have risked their careers to fight back and how she hopes we can break up the renowned boys club once and for all.<club-desc-paragraph>
