Description

Show #266 | Guest: Susan Fowler | Show Summary: Susan Fowler was born determined. From a life of childhood poverty she pushed her way to an Ivy League school.
     She swam upstream against misogynist Silicon Valley culture to land jobs in line with her energy and intellect. Then she blew it all wide open with a blog post in 2017, detailing the day-to-day sexism she'd had to confront as an engineer at Uber. That viral post, coupled with #MeToo, transformed both her own life and the halls of misogynist power.
     Fowler has capitalized on the phenomenon to advocate for equality, support, and fairness in Silicon Valley. She's worked for labor reforms, including a push to eliminate arbitration agreements.
     The New York Times cited Fowler’s "unique brand of courage, clarity of mind, and moral purpose" in hiring her as its technology opinion editor. Susan Fowler sat down with Angie Coiro do discuss her new book, Whistleblower: My Journey to Silicon Valley and Fight for Justice at Uber.
