From hamburger joint to newsroom to IT shop in the 20th Century -- I could write an appalling book. It was all normalized. "Housewives" were taking men's jobs and there was a price to pay.

It's ironic that IT is the industry with such a backwards reputation, because coding is such a natural job for women. A recipe is practically COBOL. Knitting instructions are a machine language with sequencing, branching and looping. Coding requires attention to detail and infinite patience, but not brute strength.

Thanks for fighting the good fight.
