Ellen Pao will appeal gender discrimination case against Kleiner

Ellen Pao will appeal the result of a gender discrimination lawsuit against Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield and Byers, her spokeswoman said on Monday. A San Francisco jury cleared Kleiner Perkins in March of claims it short-circuited former partner Pao's career because she is a woman, in a case that helped spark a wide discussion about gender at the center of the U.S. technology industry.
