• On the Limits of Lean In: Speaking up is great. Just make sure you have something to say first.

• SpaceX, home of Women 2.0 conference speaker Gwynne Shotwell, is about to launch the world’s heaviest rocket.

• A year of only retweeting women.

• Care.com’s CEO Sheila Marcelo to entrepreneurs: “Be disagreeable.”

• And Salesforce’s Marc Benioff to tech leaders: “Give more.”

• SXSW’s surge in female-focused events.

• ‘Best dressed women in tech’ lists: fun or sexist?

• What do many tech conferences and Hollywood movies have in common? A lack of women.
