An educational website featuring a collection of innovations by women in the fields of computer science and technology.

This is nice. I didn’t know about these women, other than Grace Hopper.

Why are women so underrepresented in tech?

    Nah, it’s not that at all. Women are just as analytic and capable of working through high level theory as men. It’s just a slog to show up to a course or lab or office and be the only girl there. Most just avoid it because they can foresee how it’s gonna go down. Getting into ‘girly’ interests feels safe before you even start because you’re guaranteed to be surrounded by women who empathize with you.

      Why don’t women contribute to FOSS? No body knows if you are male or female unless you tell them.

        Why are so few men kindergarten teachers? Because they’re from a young age not even told that it’s a valid option for a man. Same for women in tech.
