This is nice. I didn’t know about these women, other than Grace Hopper.
Why are women so underrepresented in tech?

Source? Nursing is the main example I can think of. As jobs in general got shitty, nursing appeared to be a seemingly less shitty career with decent pay/benefits, which is why tons of men are trying to get into it now.

No doubt it’s a very stressful job, but my point is that a nurse generally has better job security than most jobs. In today’s age, that’s a massively important factor when so many employers treat employees like they’re disposable. It’s also not exactly a job that can be outsourced nor automated, two factors that I think men have overlooked in the past when the odds of getting a decent paying job in other “more manly” (big eye roll) sectors were more common.
