GEEK GIRL RISING Inside the Sisterhood Shaking Up Tech

Heather Cabot and coauthor Samantha Walravens reveal the growing and powerful role that women and women's networks are playing in the tech industry, as well as the opportunities and challenges they face. Cabot narrates in a tone that communicates her zeal but also overwhelms and confuses the listener. Too often, it sounds like she's shouting or overemphasizing her points, generating a tone that can seem equal parts condescension and inside joke. Additionally, amid an abundance of interviews and discussions, she doesn't create any distinct quoting voices, which leaves one wondering who actually said what. While the audiobook delivery distracts from its content, the message of a strong female movement rings true in the authors' exploration of leaders, programs, and new opportunities awaiting female innovators.
