Climbing the Technical Ladder: Obstacles and Soluntions for Mid-level Women in Technology
The mid level is perhaps the most critical juncture for women on the technical career ladder because it is where a complex set of gender barriers converge. In order to learn why the mid level is a “glass ceiling” for women on the technical ladder, the Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology and the Michelle R. Clayman Institute for Gender Research at Stanford University have
undertaken a groundbreaking study of female scientists and engineers at seven mid to large, publicly traded Silicon Valley high-tech firms. Drawing from a large-scale survey and in-depth interviews conducted in 2007 and 2008, this report proposes data-driven, systematic solutions for the retention and advancement of technical women.
