In the 1950s and 1960s most programmers were women. Somehow during the civil rights era they stopped taking STEM courses and took the arts etc. It is claimed that boys who got 8 bit computers had replaced them, but I am a bit skeptical. Females and other genders should be able to learn how to program like makes, as gender does not matter for one to become a programmer.
