Abstract:
This documentary on women in computing profiles a diverse group of successful women in the field today. Topics covered include the history of women in computing, the departure of women from academic computing in the mid-80s, why there are fewer women in computing than men, and gender differences in response to high-technology. Sociologists, psychologists, educators and other experts report findings on research into different responses to computers and video games and reports are given on programs designed to encourage girls in math, science and engineering, as well as other ways to bridge the computer gender gap.
