On Monday, the case will finally go to court, beginning with a jury selection. Pao is seeking $16 million from her former firm. Kleiner Perkins believes Pao is being driven to sue by family financial troubles. (Her husband's hedge fund went bankrupt.)

It's also provoked a much larger discussion about whether Silicon Valley is a meritocracy - or just an old-fashioned boy's club driven by personal connections.

Who's involved in the scandal that set off a world-wide discussion about gender discrimination in Silicon Valley?

Some are named in Pao's lawsuit. Some aren't. But all have been swept up by the lawsuit's broader impact.
