Interesting Features for PWN for 6/6/2016
Emily Peck, Executive Editor of Business and
Technology for The Huffington Post, wrote a fun article about the difference
between women and men’s dress code. Ever noticed Sheryl Sanberg’s shoes? This
article points out that even in the tech world where Mark Zuckerberg gets to
walk around in a T-shirt, women are not playing by the same rules. This article
also states that women who spend more time grooming are promoted more often and
make more money than their bare-faced colleagues. It is unfortunate that
appearance seems to matter more for working women than men.

Merrilyn Datta, Chief Commercial Officer of a
company called Definiens, wrote an interesting piece in Entrepreneur about 3 ways in which we can attract more women to STEM
fields. Woman only make up 26 percent of computer scientists and 12 percent of
engineers, but these numbers have recently gotten worse. This is a disconnect
since studies show that woman on a team raise team performance and collective
intelligence. Thus, it is important as a society to expose girls at a young age
to the STEM fields.
Fortune has compiled words of
wisdom from 8 influential women including Sheryl, Sandberg, Elizabeth Warren,
and Loretta Lynch. It is motivating and inspiring to read quotes by such
influential women!
