I cannot overstate how important this is. My dad really helped me out as a young girl. He taught me how to invest in the stock market. (I still own stock I purchased as a kid with my own money.) My parents bought (or helped me borrow from the library) any book I wanted. My parents bought me my first computer--a 286--when I was 9. When I was a teenager, I finally got Internet access--long-distance dialup on my brand new 486--and that's when I knew that "this Internet thing" was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. (I recently posted an old photo of my dad, his stockbroker, and a young me absorbing all this info: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150342009128305&set=t.678673304&type=3&theater https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150342009128305&#3... ) Because of all this, I became a successful tech company CEO. I've been running my own businesses for 11 years now and have had some amazing successes. When I look back, it all started with my parents helping me out with computers, business, and money (and books!) If we want to see more women in the tech industry, this is where it starts.
