I'm a stranger here myself: a consideration of women in computing

In the U.S. in recent years, women earned about half of all associate degrees in computer science, more than one-third of the bachelor’s degrees, 27% of master’s degrees, and 13% of PhDs (Spertus, 1991; Chronicle, 1992). Yet women account for only about 7% of computer science and engineering faculty, and only 3% of the tenured professors in these fields are female (Spertus, 1991). In other words, 92% of CS and engineering faculty -and 97% of the tenured faculty -are male. And about one-third of the computer science departments polled employ no women faculty at all. (Note 1)
