Susan Fowler

Just after Susan Fowler (born 1991) left her job as a software engineer at Uber, she wrote a blog post that upended the company and sparked a larger debate about work culture in Silicon Valley.
In her 2017 post, she detailed multiple incidents of sexual harassment and said managers had failed to act on her concerns. Thousands shared her post on social media. It led to an investigation that resulted in 20 people being fired, and it set the stage for the CEO’s ouster.
After leaving Uber, she became an editor for the New York Times and wrote a book about her experience speaking up against workplace inequality.
