Why is being stylish so important in this context? If she were not stylish or conventionally attractive, does that detract from your opinion of her?


Being stylish is super important (to me) because not only is she a woman in tech - she's a stylish woman in tech. I hate the typical tech uniform of jeans, t-shirts, and hoodies, but felt I wouldn't get taken seriously if I looked 'pretty'. Marissa made that ok for me.

If she wore the typical tech uniform it wouldn't detract anything for me, but she wouldn't be iconic to me.
