This is huge. The distinction between MENTORSHIP and SPONSORSHIP is huge here. Men are much more likely to have sponsors than women are.

I wrote more about this here: https://medium.com/code-like-a-girl/dont-just-look-for-mentors-look-for-sponsors-dc004dfec85a#.3x7cqadyg

(I actually get a little annoyed at “mentorship” programs, I’ll be honest, though I do think they provide some level of benefit. Insufficient though).

Would love to have you contribute to the Women 2.0 at some point! What a great piece!
