First semester of my cs degree, it was around 50/50. After 3 semesters very few women were left. Spoiler: it was not because they could not handle the courses.

I was one of three women in my year who graduated in CS at my university. I did most of my course work at home…trying to be one of the guys and make sure kindness wouldn’t be considered flirting made for a weird 4 years. No horror stories to tell though , just plenty of awkwardness.

It was another time, but the first field my mother went into was IT. She dropped her punch cards on her way to the computer and had to explain to the teacher that she would need time to put them back in order. His reaction?
