Google's Megan Smith Says It's Time To Uncover The Lost History Of Female Tech Pioneers
Google vice president Megan Smith gave a wide-ranging talk this morning at the Women 2.0 conference in Las Vegas, where she started out by talking about "moonshot" ideas, connected those ideas to the work she's doing at Google's "skunkworks" lab Google[x}, and also made time to suggest that we're entering a "third wave" of women's rights.Third-wave feminism isn't a new concept, but it sounded like Smith is thinking about something more recent this year, she said, feels like "the beginning of the third wave to me." She suggested that there's more discussion about the role of women and girls, whether it's a conversation at the United Nations about developing countries or (as in Sheryl Sandberg's book Lean In, which Smith cited as an example) a discussion about getting more women involved in senior roles at major companies.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/szfWj1qIVB4/
