Women in Tech: Take Your Career to the Next Level with Practical Advice and Inspiring Stories by Tarah Wheeler

This tech-oriented career guide for readers of #Girlboss and Lean In alternates teaching career skills with inspiring personal stories from successful women in tech. Geared toward women who are considering getting into computer science or engineering, or those already in a technology job who want to take their career to the next level, this book combines no-nonsense career advice and inspiring personal stories from a female startup CEO and a host of other successful female tech professionals, many of them non-traditional and self-taught.
