I would ask, using the current age of well placed woman engineers in Google, back when they were going through middle and high school to even college years, was the general view of society that women should strive for engineering degrees or that line of work common? The personal computer affect on society opened a lot of doors, the internet opened more because both men and women finally were exposed to more ideas and history than ever before. I think being exposed to history in greater depth and variety was a greater boon than suspected because there have always been great women in science and engineering, they just rarely if ever got a line of mention in common text books. how was society to interest women in such careers? Television surely wasn't, it was always wives, nurses, and secretaries, for the most part. i would love to see a yc article from the same women and more revealing their generation and what influences they experienced that led them to their career and where they think we are doing it right and wrong this day. we will eventually arrive at a time where memo's like this don't even come about
