The alienation of being in an institution built on one’s nature, where if they play along they’re also seen as denying their feminine side, and the pressure of having to constantly prove oneself can take a toll on confidence. To make computer science more attractive to women, we have tot help young women change how they think about themselves and what’s expected of them. But we might also make the images of scientists they see in the media different, along with the decor in the classrooms and offices in which they might want to study or work. Computer scientists and engineers are going to be designing the future that everyone inhabits.
