Re: [TUHS] Women in computing

Another interesting note on this topic.  I saw a presentation on the
Diana Project a few months ago, and it seems like it's making a real
positive difference for women in computing.  Check it out.

Without intending to set off anybody's political correctness alarms,
an interesting interesting comment from the presentation was that a
large percentage of the current crop of female computer folks are
into cryptography.  Without passing any sort of judgement on it, it
seems like those sort of puzzle-solving problems are sucking a lot
of women into CS.
