Back on Soap Box: Its not about which school on learns CS . look at who makes big dollars in Silicon Valley. They are men who often dropped out of Carnegie Mellon, I know three at least! . They are men who are freshman at Georgia Tech and work all night long on start ups . they are men who graduated Stanford, and coded on the side since their days at a Palo Alto high school, OR They are Harvard and Warton B school grads, (Men plus the Lean in Girl) who run the place. Women need a class about how to do it. They do not need sugar coating classes suitable for Claremont McKenna kiddos! They do not need to be given a line of goods by academics who want so badly the numbers to improve. Women in high tech need both a backbone and they need some help about how to deal with a roomful of men. May I suggest good perfume and knowledge of the meeting content and goals both? A solid technical grasp and a sense of humor so you can roll with sexual inuendo? A balancing hobby like YOGA and impecable standards, as sleeping to the top may not work anymore?! And a public speaking class to avoid a whining female voice? The biggest inhibitor to female success is lack of knowledge of how the system works. We have written books in the 1970s on this, have we forgotten all we learned?
