Closing arguments continue Wednesday in the the gender discrimination trial of Ellen Pao vs. Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. The case has riveted Silicon Valley for the last month. Kleiner Perkins is one of the valley's storied venture capital firms -- it invests in tech startups, and one of its many successes was Google. Ellen Pao is the CEO of the popular website Reddit, and a former VC at Kleiner Perkins before she got axed. Pao claims sexism held her back when getting promotions and pay raises. We talk with Nellie Bowles, a contributor to the online tech site Re/Code.
