This is the story of usthe makers and hackers and dreamers who built Silicon Valley. Its a survival manual for the girls who lead, who challenge authority, who are made to feel less than even while they are changing the world. I so love that Adriana wrote this, I so love her story, and I so love her voice. And, just like back in 2007 when we *needed* Adriana to start Girls in Tech, we also *needed* her to write this book. Because as women who lead, who invent, and who strive, we will only get by with a little help from our girlfriends.
