Whistleblower: My Journey To Silicon Valley And Fight For Justice At Uber
by Susan Fowler
Buy on AmazonRecommended by
"In 2017, Susan Fowler, a software engineer at Uber, wrote a blog post that detailed a toxic culture of sexism, sexual harassment and chaos at the rapidly growing ride-share company. The post forced a reckoning at the company and put a spotlight on Silicon Valley culture. What Fowler’s memoir does so well is show how these stories, and the characters in them (meaning her), did not just spring up from the earth. In Fowler’s recounting of her life and the story we get an understanding of all of the factors and complexities that led to the moment she decided to hit publish on her post – and in turn what life was like afterward. In the end, she is much more than “the woman who wrote the blog post,” and in telling that story she sends the reader away with a deeper understanding of the story behind the headlines."
