The industry needs the women and is very welcoming to them, but there is a peer culture attitude that paints the roles in an unfavourable light and makes it a less attractive for some. An image problem if you like.

The IT world DESPERATELY needs more wizardettes! In my experience, the ladies excel in improving the end-user experience in tech. It is no accident that many of the user interface projects in the FOSS domain are or have been led by women. I wish Avye and her mom the greatest success in their efforts.

During my career in IT, I remember reading an article about the dearth of women in IT. As part of that article, there was some evidence stated that in the “early days”, women were generally better programmers then men. At the time, I disagreed with them about the number of women because my department was lead by a very smart woman, and half the team was made up of women as well. That was a great place to work.
