I was invited to talk at RailsGirls opening event about Women and Technology. So I made this talk with a little bit of women's history in technology, worforce demographics from tech industries, data about education and tried to discuss how can we encourage more women to the tech field. PS: many thanks to Marina, RailsGirls organizer, for inviting me.
