   Excellent reporting

   Emily Chang has a wonderful track record of journalism and her analysis and empathy shone through in the compilation of the book. It’s always a bonus when the author is the narrator, and given she reports for a living she gave a stellar performance on that front as well. Would highly recommend.

   Not what I expected, but eye opening.

   I expected more scandalous details, but was overall impressed with the points made. All men should read this book just to help bring to light what it is like to be a working woman. I would have preferred less of an I hate Trump narrative because it is exhausting, but I’m not the author and political bias is her right. Excellent book for all individuals in the workplace. Especially male dominated industries. Please read/listen.

   Unfortunately, this book is needed

   Emily Chang's exploration into the tech industry was insightful and necessary. It's a must read for every future unicorn founder and computer science major. It's time we start to walk the walk when it comes to inclusivity and diversity in the industry. Women should not have to toughen up or play the game to have a fulfilling career in technology. This is the first book I have ever read that didn't leave me feeling like I'm crazy and I don't belong. Thank you Emily Chang.

   it might take you a while

   the main reason it took me a month to finish was because I would get so frustrated with how accurate it was that I would need a break to accept the reality of our culture and really let myself digest it. to have this information laid out in such a thoughtful way, it is almost comforting for women to have these experiences validated by data and hopefully eye-opening for men to understand why women are so frustrated. I am not in the industry, but I really appreciated this book and the author on so many levels.

   Eye Opening

   This book should be required reading for all silicon valley leaders. Having lived in the silicon valley since 1993 I am familiar with many of the stories shared with in this book and to get the perspectives from the victims themselves has increase my awareness surrounding professional behavior in the workplace. Emily Chang did a fantastic job! Congratulations to her and her team!

   Important, well-researched, nicely performed!

   Thank you to Emily for writing this important and timely book. I have followed the Silicon Valley news regarding harassment in the past few years, so I was aware of the individual incidents. However, the way that Emily weaves these events into a coherent narrative is helpful and quite enlightening. I am a better person, and a better white male, for having read it.

   Must read for diversity

   It started off slow and negative, however it really became interesting later in and ended off really well with actionable ways to improve the status quo
