En savoir plus sur le livre

In 2017, twenty-five-year-old Susan Fowler published a blog post detailing her experiences of sexual harassment and retaliation as an entry-level engineer at Uber. This post went viral, leading to the ousting of Uber's CEO and over twenty employees, igniting a movement against sexual misconduct in Silicon Valley that extended to Hollywood. Aware of the risks women faced when speaking out about harassment prior to the #MeToo era, Susan’s memoir reveals her determination to challenge the status quo. Growing up in poverty in rural Arizona and denied a formal education, she defied the odds to earn an Ivy League degree. Confronted with a toxic culture of sexism and abuse at Uber, she initially sought change through collaboration with other women. When that failed, she bravely took her story public, facing significant backlash from Uber as they attempted to intimidate and discredit her. The impact of her words resonated throughout Silicon Valley and beyond, ultimately guiding her toward achieving her dreams. This powerful narrative showcases a woman's relentless fight for justice and serves as an inspiration for anyone confronting inequality in their own workplaces.
