NB: "computers" != "STEM" In many science fields, women have reached near parity or are even in the majority now. Computer programming is much different.

- hkmurakami 8y agoBio, Chem, (and Bio E, Chem E) and Med seemed to have good gender balance when I was in college 10 years ago. Physics, Mathematics, and the other Engineering disciplines seemed to have much more skew (my EE class was something like 40 men and 3 women). Stanford CS was apparently 70:30 in 2015, an improvement over 80:20 just 3 years prior. As CS is increasingly seen as a pragmatic, lucrative career, we will likely continue to see the gender gap shrink. https://medium.com/@jcueto/race-and-gender-among-computer-science-majors-at-stanford-3824c4062e3a https://medium.com/@jcueto/race-and-gender-among-computer-sc...
