Two years ago, we compiled a list of the Most Influential Women In Tech, in part to recognize the challenges that women in technology face--proper recognition being just one of them. We continued in 2010. Our 2011 list highlights 30 women in six categories. All of them bring unique brands of thought to their industries.
We continue our Women in Tech coverage with a list of startups with female founders and CEOs by Allyson Kapin, one of our Most Influential Women in Technology in 2010.
Asking "why aren't there more women in tech" is like asking why there aren't more women in fashion, or medicine, or law. There are. They just don't fit our stereotypes, so we don't notice them.
It's time to think about what the women leaders in tech can do to encourage girls to take on the challenge of changing our world through technology. Three organizations are attacking the "girl-problem" head-on: the Girl Scouts, the National Engineers Week Foundation, and the National Center for Women & Information Technology.
