Silicon Valley tech leaders finally moving toward gender parity

[Commentary] There is tremendous momentum right now behind the move to increase women's participation in tech and an equally tremendous cause to be optimistic that this time something is actually changing.

The two trends -- increased access to computer science education and the growing number of jobs for technologists -- will inevitably ensure that there is both a supply of technically skilled females and a demand for them. The market, it seems, is on the side of women. And if there is one thing that Silicon Valley responds to as quickly as anyone, anywhere, it is the power of market forces.
