Role models matter a lot. Seeing relatable people be successful in ambitious undertakings can be transformative. I can only hope this trend continues so that, decades from now, our children and grandchildren will shake their heads in disbelief that technology and entrepreneurship were "for boys".

- stretchwithme 13y agoIts my belief that most women, and men, throughout human history HAVE been entrepreneurs. What is a farmer, after all? Or a hunter? Or a gatherer? After all, what do people naturally do? What do animals naturally do? Well, they don't sit and wait to be told what to do. No, they seek out opportunities. The current economic arrangements, however productive they are, are the anomaly. I don't think they are going away, but the work we do will become more more entrepreneurial as labor is automated. And as education evolves away from "sit still and listen to the lecture" towards something more compatible with how people actually thrive.
