Women. Not girls. I will endeavor to never make that mistake again. This was really a good presentation to watch. It will be advice I give my daughter when she is older.
Thanks +Jessica Gottlieb and +Aliza Sherman for the post.

Provocative presentation by Caroline Drucker: "How to Get More Women in Tech in Under a Minute." I remember the mixed feelings about "Webgrrls" back in the 90s. Some women saw it as embracing a more powerful version of "girl" but others felt it was demeaning and diminishing.
Most vocal were the women in the Boston chapter who surrounded me after I presented at MIT to tell me they thought I needed to change the name and explained their own struggles to be taken seriously in tech.
What do you think of the use of "girl" to refer to a woman?
