Hi Rachel

Thanks for posting on this topic. I have been wondering for some time now about why women don’t attend as many events. I have always been keen to attend events and I have had the advantage of always knowing people. If I did not know people and go with people I may not have attended so many events. The out of place feelings may be amplified when the event is male dominated. The Girl Geek dinners are a great idea to get women meeting other women in the industry.

I commend you for putting your daughter first. It can be so easy to let work dominate ones life.
