Not Even Well Begun: Women in Computing Courses.
Kay, J.; And Others
Higher Education, v18 n5 p511-27 1989
The ways in which women tend to be disadvantaged in computing courses are examined. The apparent technology-centeredness of computing, the emphasis accorded mathematics as well as narrow problem solving skills and the undervaluing of broadly based problem solving and communication skills are discussed.
