Alpha Girls

In Alpha Girls, award-winning journalist Julian Guthrie takes readers behind the closed doors of Silicon Valley's venture capital industry, where few women have ever been allowed in. She follows the lives and careers of four women who were largely written out of history—until now. Magdalena Yesil, who arrived in America from Turkey with $43 to her name, would go on to receive her electrical engineering degree from Stanford, found some of the first companies to commercialize internet access—and help Marc Benioff build Salesforce.
