| Keywords: | balancing career and family | ||
| Annotation: | Many women are content with their current IT job and do not wish to be promoted to management positions. A reason for a lack of women in management positions could be a lack of desire. Many women enjoy the flexibility found at the lower positions which allows them to spend more time with their family. Management should not necessarily be the chief indicator of success of women in IT. | ||

Becoming a Computer Scientist | ||
| Communications of the ACM | |||
| Year: | 1990 | ||
| Reference: | Vol 33, No 11, pp 47-57 Go To Article | ||
| Keywords: | self-esteem, mentoring, discrimination, balancing career and family | ||
| Annotation: | The small number of women working as computer scientists can be directly tied to the unique difficulties women face in becoming computer scientists. There are many cultural factors that contribute to women's special experience in computing. The earliest computer software products that children are exposed to reflect the gender biases and stereotypes of the software designers. Studies show that educational software is designed to appeal to boys. Another study of doctoral computer science students finds that although male and female students perform equally, the women students feel much less confident, comfortable and successful than the men. Four of the primary challenges facing women in pursuing careers in computer science are lack of mentoring and role models, difficulties with self-esteem, gender discrimination and difficulty in balancing family and career responsibilities. | ||
