Reception and Impact

[edit]

Library Journal called Women in Tech "The essential handbook for women in technology -- engaging, practical, and inspirational."[5]

In the fall of 2016 the University of California, Berkeley taught a class on Wheeler's book and the necessities for overcoming barriers to entry in the technology industry and the requirements for success as a woman trying to enter the field.[6]

Women in Tech has been translated into Korean.[7]
