Too Long; Didn't Read

Google recently revealed that only 17% of its technical workforce are female. Early computing wasn't always as male-dominated as it is today. Women are more likely to reject STEM subjects in favour of arts and humanitarian subjects. In countries that rate higher for gender equality, women are actually less likely to pursue a STEM-based degree. Women in senior positions are less-likely than ever to mentor junior women, and following the Me Too movement, men in senior roles are less likely than ever. There are many completely female-dominated industries, with women rising up the ranks to command higher salaries and positions.
