The woman who took down Uber gives her first interview since speaking up
Eight months ago, engineer Susan Fowler published a blog post describing a culture of sexism and sexual harassment throughout Uber.
Her words set off a firestorm at Uber that led to the ouster of founder Travis Kalanick as CEO, predated widespread allegations of sexual harassment against venture capitalists in Silicon Valley this summer, and even seems to draw a trail through this month's Harvey Weinstein news.

The former Uber engineer, who now edits a technical publication for the payments company Stripe, gave her first interview since hitting publish on Feb. 19 to Maureen Dowd at the New York Times.

“I didn’t really care if they branded me a troublemaker because I hadn’t gotten that far in my life and overcome all these things to get treated inappropriately," Fowler told the Timesabout Uber.
"I wasn’t going to take it. I’d worked so hard. I deserved so much better. And I was, like, ‘No. That’s not OK. You don’t get to do that.’”
The profile describes Fowler's background as a self-taught physics student who was homeschooled in Arizona. Fowler is now seven months pregnant and is developing a movie about her experiences at Uber, the story noted.
Verge, the agency she's working with on the movie, describes the project as: Erin Brockovichmeets The Social Network.
After she first blew the whistle on Uber's corporate culture, Fowler hired private security. She also suspected Uber of hiring private investigators once friends started getting calls.
Now, she's looking forward to having a baby girl and can't imagine any turn of events that would persuade her to return to Uber.
"I don’t think they could offer me enough money to go there."
