Supergirls: The women who rise above the stigmas to code, build, and dominate tech
My book is about the women in tech who use their coding superpowers and some essential traits of supergirls to break society’s expectations of what it means to be a woman who codes and pave the way for the future of technology.
My name is Sophie Maniscalco and I am the author of Supergirls. I wrote this book because, as a woman in tech myself, I know how important it is to see and hear about other women in tech who have paved the way. I wanted to tell the stories of these women in order to hopefully inspire other women out there to pursue what they are passionate about – whether or not that be coding!
My hope is that, in reading this book, you will discover what it truly means to be a supergirl and that you will be inspired by the stories of the women all around you who have unfortunately often gone unrecognized. In this book, I hope to instill the same sort of passion and excitement that I have for coding in you. And then ultimately I want you to see this book as a tool to help you become a supergirl yourself and unlock your full potential and pursue your passion.
