Publisher's summary

Becoming a leader in the “bro culture” of technology is a challenge for any capable woman—but it can be even more treacherous for mothers. Few women understand this better than Emilia M. D’Anzica and Sabina M. Pons, the respective founder and principal consultant at the management consulting firm Growth Molecules.

Upon comparing stories about raising children while working in tech, D’Anzica and Pons wondered: What would it take for their male-dominated industry to start appreciating working mothers?

The result of their conversations is Pressing On as a Tech Mom, a first-of-its-kind guidebook for mothers who want to thrive in tech.

Distilling wisdom from interviews with more than 300 tech industry leaders who are moms themselves, D’Anzica and Pons have assembled the ultimate list of tips, strategies, and resources for tech mothers trying to balance their family lives along with their career aspirations.

Though the industry can be hostile to ambitious mothers, Pressing On as a Tech Mom offers them helpful strategies and calls on male allies to support them in challenging workplace sexism. In the process, D’Anzica and Pons present the hopeful future of a tech world that views mothers as assets precisely because of their identities and not in spite of them.

Informative and Inspiring

"Pressing ON as a Tech Mom" is an informative and inspiring book!!! I honestly loved it so much I read it in 2 days. I found the book to be relatable and practical. The authors share their personal experiences faced by tech moms to balance work and family life.

The Emilia and Sabina interview 12 different female leaders in the tech industry. I particulary loved the anecdotes section, where the they shared stories from working moms who have managed to achieve success in the tech field. This book touches on combating imposter syndrome, why mothers belong in tech, how covid-19 impacted working moms, how to ditch mom guilt, and inspiration to break barriers. It was empowering to read about women who have faced challenges but persevered and became successful in their respective careers. I would even challenge and say that the book is also for MEN in the tech industry to understand the challenges their female colleague face. Beautifully written and inspiring! It's a must read.
