The thing is believe it or not, there are many successful women in the tech industry but most of them are not all the time posting into social networks, mostly just some blog posts and that's about it. People still believe in the tech gap (which in some part is true) but we are now starting to have more women in technology thanks to many supporting communities. I am Peruvian and it's very hard for me to say that on Latin American countries or most of them depending on the culture, women are undermined unfortunately, nowadays slowly things are changing but it was a surprise for me when I moved to Italy to study my Master's degree... seeing so many women in other areas of Engineering totally gave me a broader view of things and pushed me to pursuit my goals. Thank you for your post Brenda!
