This morning I learned about a special day coming up in March. Almost a thousand people have already pledged to take this day to write about a woman in the field of technology that they admire. It is intended to help spread the word about positive female role models.
I think this is a fantastic idea, and as a woman in the field of technology I would love to help spread the word that technical careers are the best place for women to be. In my opinion, the technical fields tend to more open, have better pay equality, and lots of room to prosper. Young girls need to know that these fields are open to them as are any that they wish to pursue.
