The She Is Tech Conference 2.0, held this October, brought together hours of inspiring speeches, thought-provoking discussions, and insights. Speaker Ana Sanches, VP of ESG and Organizational Development at Teleperformance, shared her book recommendations that explore data, equality, and stories of women who have broken barriers. These must-reads offer fresh perspectives you can find motivating in changing the industry for the better.
The book uncovers the hidden gender biases woven into data that shape our lives — from healthcare and public policy to technology and workplace design. Because data often treats men as the “default,” women’s needs and experiences are frequently overlooked.
Why read it: For women in tech, this book offers a critical lens on how data-driven industries can unintentionally reinforce inequalities if they aren’t built with inclusivity in mind. With real-world examples and solid research, this book will change how you approach data and decision-making.
What Works addresses one of the biggest challenges in achieving workplace equality: unconscious bias. Instead of attempting to change minds, Bohnet advocates for organizational changes that minimize bias in hiring, promotions, and daily operations. Her research-backed solutions highlight simple yet effective ways companies and leaders can create more inclusive environments.
Why read it: What Works is a guide packed with practical tools for anyone looking to make meaningful changes in their work environment, from individual contributors to senior leaders.
Though often seen as children’s reading, the book has universal appeal. Each beautifully illustrated story presents historical and contemporary female figures — from Ada Lovelace, the first computer programmer, to Malala Yousafzai, a Nobel laureate fighting for girls’ education.
Why read it: Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls reminds us of women’s diverse paths to make their mark on the world. It’s an empowering read that fuels curiosity and the drive to achieve great things.
