The computing profession is facing a serious gender crisis. Women are abandoning the computing field. This book explains the complex social and cultural processes at work in gender and computing today. Through engaging historical accounts, this book tells the stories of women programmers, systems analysts, managers, and IT executives who flooded this field. It then examines why the computing field has declined in female participants.--[book cover]
