EXPLORE

SHE'S IN Ctrl
by Anne-Marie Imafidon

How women can take back tech – to communicate, investigate, problem-solve, broker deals and protect themselves in a digital world

In She's In CTRL, computer scientist Dr. Anne-Marie Imafidon, a dynamic advocate for women in STEM, calls time on women being cut out of the tech story.

For her book, Dr. Imafidon took inspiration from her own experience, as well as the experiences of other pioneers and visionaries who have, despite all obstacles, had a big impact in the tech world.

An inspiring look at why women are underrepresented in the IT industry, why it matters, and what we can do about it.
