A Conversation with Julian Guthrie and the Women of Alpha Girls

Alpha Girls: The Women Upstarts Who Took on Silicon Valley’s Male Culture and Made the Deals of a Lifetime, tells the unforgettable story of four women who became stars in the cutthroat, male-dominated world of venture capital in Silicon Valley and helped finance and build some of the foremost companies of our time. Juggling work, family, illness, and much more, the women overcame betrayals, unequal pay, and the blatant sexism prevalent in Silicon Valley and in male-dominated industries everywhere and rose to success, becoming voices for change for a generation of women to follow. In Alpha Girls, author and award-winning journalist Julian Guthrie returns women to their rightful place in the narrative of Silicon Valley.

Join Julian Guthrie and “alpha girls” MJ Elmore, Magdalena Yesil and Sonja Perkins for a live conversation about tech, startups, venture capital and what has – and has not – changed in Silicon Valley.

Books will be available for purchase at the event.
