I am a woman in tech and you are too.

It’s easy to get sucked into thinking that the #womenintech community is reserved for one type of woman: a quick, geeky, practical woman with a Stanford or MIT CS degree in her back-pocket. She slangs away lines of code alongside be-hoodied brogrammers in SOMA. She prefers the utilitarian and certainly isn’t caught up in the frivolous. However, this narrow point-of-view not only precludes non-technical women from engaging with the strong Women in Tech community, but I also believe at it’s core, it’s wholly inaccurate in describing technical and non-technical women alike.

During the course of (most) women’s days, she will interact with technology along hundreds of touch-points. She wakes up in the morning, glances at her smartphone. After a quick scroll through Instagram and Facebook, she hops out of bed, and turns on Spotify (wait did she remember to save that song she Shazam’d yesterday?). She checks the weather app, throws on a sweater she got from StitchFix (forgot to return it but it’s cute enough so here we are), and completes a mobile Starbucks order (cold brew ready for pick-up in seven minutes).

As she heads out the door, she pops in her Bluetooth headphones and applies a little lipgloss from her latest Birchbox. She sends a few texts, glances at her email — a couple from her boss, a Paperless Post invite, an Amazon shipping notification (thank god for Prime). She skims theSkimm as she walks into the office and so begins her day.

You see, this could be the morning routine of any woman: a designer or developer, a nurse or teacher, one some might hesitate to call a Woman in Tech. And yet, tech remains a central pillar to her day-to-day.

I believe every woman is a woman in tech, so long as she wants to claim the title.

When we empower every woman to call herself a “Woman in Tech” and take a seat at the table, we increase the number of voices in the conversation, and in turn, build better, more inclusive products. This benefits tech, and society, as a whole.

As women, we are saturated with technology. It’s time to wring it all out to discover and discuss the places and ways we are influenced by and continually influence tech.
