What advice would you give women interested in pursuing a field in technology?

Technology doesn't say male or female; work is work. Those who do well can advance. I think women can and often do perform better than men in technology. Women are especially good at building relationships with their peers and subordinates. They do this through collaboration. Having a woman manager can encourage other people in the group, who might not otherwise participate, to engage more actively in discussions and projects. Because women are less likely to focus on competition and are generally more comfortable sharing power, other people who might normally feel uncomfortable in groups might be encouraged to share their ideas."
