Elsewhere on this page someone linked to a talk Jessica herself gave on this subject[1]. It is remarkably similar to PG&#x27;s essay. Jessica notes at the beginning that pretty nearly no one on the outside knows how large a role she has played at YC and then credits that to her preferred MO of working behind the scenes. She also does not mention her gender as a factor in being ignored.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=NEp9aaQuYp4" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=NEp9aaQuYp4</a>
