But I think you are talking about a menial job that doesn't exist anymore. That skew comes from basically punch card data entry.
I don't think software design was ever female dominated. Is that incorrect?

Never female dominated (at least, in terms of degrees), but there was much less of a gap. I couldn't find occupational statistics, only academic. I did find a lot of anecdotes about software being a stereotypically female activity, but I couldn't find actual data.
