I was asked this question in a recent interview, and my simple answer was that I don’t actually know all the reasons. I know a few of them as do lots of other people. So the question is why do you think more women don’t work in Technology? Eileen Brown is a woman on a mission to find out more. As quoted from her site:
“I’d like 5 minutes of your time (if you’re female) to fill in a survey about women working in the Technology industry. Womenintechnolgy is surveying women about their experiences, and we’ll donate 50p for every completed questionnaire to either the NSPCC or Cancer Research Breast Cancer charity (your choice). We’re trying to get a feel about what different employers are doing to attract, promote and retain women technologists so I’d appreciate you forwarding this mail and the survey link to all of the other women you know who also work in and alongside Technology so we can get a good feel across the industry as a whole.
We’ll publish the findings soon and see how the industry responds. So now’s your chance to have your say about women in IT. And if you don’t work in technology, why not forward the link to someone who does?
Here’s the link. Please forward this to all the women you know and support 2 deserving charities… http://tinyurl.com/22bbax”#
So there you go! …And if there’s anything that you want to say on the subject that doesn’t fit in the little boxes in the questionnaire, or if you are male and want to give any input on the subject about how you perceive the issues, then feel free to leave me a comment, I’m open to thoughts and ideas from anyone, male or female on the subject, you see I don’t see this as a “Womens Issue” it’s
