No Universal Constants: Journeys of Women in Engineering and Computer Science *

This paper describes lessons from stories of thirty‐six women in engineering and six women in computer science narrated in our book on journeys of women in science and engineering.1 These stories underscore the various factors that have been described in the literature as reasons women choose and stay in engineering. This paper discusses several of these factors.
