Women's day is here and, what better day to share 5 must-read books for all those women out there trying to make their mark in the field of technology.

We as women, have our own fair share of emotional challenges. Being in the tech industry that is majorly led by men is never easy. One is expected to be on the top of her game every single time which can be exhausting. These 5 must-reads can be that guiding factor for all of us today. These books were recommended to me by my mentor, and they have changed the way I approach to situations at workplace ever since. So, here I share with you these 5 treasures of mine.

Facebook's COO Sheryl Sandberg's book Lean In, looks at what women can do to help themselves, and make the small changes in their life that can change on a more universal scale. She draws on her own experiences working in some of the world's most successful businesses, as well as academic research, to find practical answers to the problems faced by women in the workplace.

Lean In is about tackling the anxieties and preconceptions that stop women reaching the top – taking a place at the table, and making yourself a part of the debate.

Completely relatable and a must read for all the women and specially men in leadership roles to understand their employees better.

Its a must read to learn how to approach your biggest challenges with confidence instead of dread, and to leave them with satisfaction instead of regret.

The most relatable book out of the lot for me would be Emotional Agility.
