This is nice. I didn’t know about these women, other than Grace Hopper.
Why are women so underrepresented in tech?
Why don’t women contribute to FOSS? No body knows if you are male or female unless you tell them.
Because the classes to learn programming in and the offices to get hired in are male dominated? FOSS doesn’t exist in a vacuum, it’s often contributed to by people already in tech jobs (cause people need money to live). Rust, for example, has a large contingent of devs who work for Amazon. If women aren’t getting tech jobs then we likely aren’t going to be doing FOSS on the side either. Skills take time to learn.
Why are so few men kindergarten teachers? Because they’re from a young age not even told that it’s a valid option for a man. Same for women in tech.
