Women’s Equality Day: How Is the Tech Industry Progressing?

Today, August 26, is Women’s Equality Day. The day commemorates women gaining the right to vote with the passage of the 19^th Amendment in 1920. Congress designated the day in 1973 at the urging of the late Bella Abzug.

The 19^th Amendment gave women the vote, but more than 100 years later, they still have not attained true equality.

In the tech industry, for example, only 26.7% of the workforce is female. In honor of the day, eight female leaders in the tech industry have offered their observations on how more women can be encouraged to join the tech workforce.
