Becoming a leader in the "bro culture" of technology is a challenge for any capable woman-but it can be even more treacherous for mothers. Few women understand this better than Emilia M. D'Anzica and Sabina M. Pons, the respective founder and principal consultant at the management consulting firm Growth Molecules.Upon comparing stories about raising children while working in tech, D'Anzica and Pons wondered: what would it take for their male-dominated industry to start viewing tech moms as the assets they are instead of liabilities?The result of their conversations is Pressing ON as a Tech Mom, a first-of-its-kind guidebook for mothers who want to thrive in tech.Distilling wisdom from interviews with more than 300 tech industry leaders who are moms themselves, D'Anzica and Pons have assembled the ultimate list of tips, strategies and resources for tech mothers trying to balance their family lives along with their career aspirations. In an industry that can be hostile to ambitious women, Pressing ON as a Tech Mom offers support for women in tech and STEM as well as useful strategies for their male allies to employ in order to challenge workplace sexism. In the process, D'Anzica and Pons present a hopeful future where the tech world views mothers as assets precisely because they are mothers and not in spite of it.
