More about the book
This book is about four brave women who forever changed Silicon Valley. Silicon Valley, steeped in the spirit of the gold rush, has always been a territory of men: Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, William Hewlett, and Elon Musk. However, four brave women—Mary Jane Hannah, Sonya Hoel, Magdalena Yesil, and Therese Gouw—decided to change the balance of power. They later became known as alpha girls. The author, Julian Guthrie, believes that "today alpha girls are everywhere, and their stories need to be told." Alpha girls are united not only by their contributions to the founding of great companies but also by their passionate desire to change the world, explosive ambitions, and perseverance in achieving their goals. If you do the impossible every day, you can confidently consider yourself part of the alpha girls clan.
