#ILookLikeAnEngineer fights sexism in Tech sector

An American women’s blog post highlighting the sexism apparent in the technology and IT sectors has gone viral, going so far as to spawn its own hashtag.

Isis Wenger, a software engineer based in San Francisco, made a public stand against the world’s preconceived image of what people in her industry should look like. Posting a photo of herself with the comment: “I help build enterprise software #Ilooklikeanengineer”, Wenger unwittingly launched an online awareness campaign urging fellow female engineers to hit back against stereotypes.
