Description: Is computing just for men? Are men and women suited to different careers? This collection of global perspectives challenges these commonly held western views perpetuated as explanations for women's low participation in computing.

This wakeup call to examine the obstacles and catalysts within various cultures and environments will help those interested in improving the situation understand where they might look to make changes that could impact women's participation in their classrooms companies and administrations. Computer scientists STEM educators students of all disciplines professionals in the tech industry leaders in gender equity anthropologists and policy makers will all benefit from reading this book.
