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.
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?
"Women have no business in my class, go do the nursing program instead."
The takeover of a what was once a female-dominated sector was in full swing at that point. A damn shame. Did she stick it out?
Nah, but she still ended up as a manager in a tech company so she won in the end 😂
