I wish I got this emaila about a week or two ago. I wrote a paper in my 4001 class about getting more women involved in science and technology. it would have been of great help, but I'll definetly check it out since I'm personnaly interested in the topic :) now that I know more about it. Thanks for sharing :) Lina Quoting "Biggers, Maureen Short" <maureen@cc.gatech.edu>:
Thanks to Kate for passing this suggestion along to Women@CC!

Wasn't sure if you be interested in doing so, but I found a book for my term paper for this HTS class I'm taking and thought the women@cc list might be interested if you want to pass it on: ----- The paper is on how females are being socially constructed in grade school (i think it goes beyond that, but just trying to focus the paper) to go away from computers and into social stereotypes. Checked out the book Gender and Computers: Understanding the Digital Divide by Joel Cooper and Kimberlee Weaver. It's been a really good read and while states some things you go 'yeah.. right. kinda obvious.' it's things people don't normally think about... both as help for the CC activities I volunteer for as well as personally. ----
