So much of your experience resonated strongly with me. I can still feel the echo of your words; devalued, dismissed, objectified, silenced, interrupted, disrespected. These are all things that I’ve felt at certain times in my journey to become/or time being a computer science Ph.D. student. Reading up until you got your Ph.D. felt familiar, however reading beyond your Ph.D. felt disheartening. Not the kind of disheartening that makes me want to not follow in your footsteps, but the kind of disheartening that makes me really want to do something about it. I am even more inspired than usual to be a story of success for the women following in my footsteps as you have been for me. Thank you for sharing.
