When I first broke into the realm of professional computer programming, after graduation in the late 80s with a Computer Science degree, the teams I worked on were populated with just as many, if not more, women than men. In total contrast to a Ruby conference I volunteered to help out a few years where the only woman in the conference presence was the SO of the conference founder. Can only speculate on the sociological reasons for this shift, other than toss a personal observation that comparatively, it seems men were the more geeked out, enamored with technology than women who seemed to hold a more pragmatic outlook and confined "work" to working hours only.
