"Let it go" by Madame Stephanie "Steve" Shirley

Creating a software company 100% remote 99% women In the 1960s!!!!

How was it possible?? Easy "programmers" programmed flawless programs in their homes with pencil.

Which would later be typed in Punch cards in the "office".

She also struggled family life raising a heavily autistic son, when the condition wasn't well understood. And then became a philantophist.

I think every woman in tech should read that book.

I second this one. That book was awesome, as well as her story.
