Although women now make up the majority of college graduates, the number of female computer science grads has dropped precipitously over the past 25 years—from nearly 40 percent in the mid-1980s to 18 percent in 2009. As a result, only 2 in 10 programmers are women.

ANN ARBOR, Mich.—Women who excel in male-dominated science, technology, engineering and mathematic fields are often unjustly stereotyped as unfeminine.
However, if women are perceived as having feminine qualities, their success may actually decrease interest in these fields (usually referred to as “STEM”), particularly among young girls, according to a new University of Michigan study.
Despite good intentions, attempts to glamorize STEM women may be less motivating to girls than more “everyday” female STEM role models, say U-M psychology researchers Diana Betz and Denise Sekaquaptewa. …
(via My fair physicist? Feminine math, science role models do not motivate girls)
Interesting. So it appears that many young girls can see themselves being feminine OR being successful in math and science, but being both at the same time seems like this impossible standard that’s too intimidating to even contemplate. They’d rather see it as an either/or proposition and then take their pick.
I wonder where this perception comes from, and how (or whether) it can be overcome?

Equal parts fascinating history, and experiment in what can go wrong while making an Oral History. But it has Jean Sammet, so I will have to come back and watch the whole thing later.
