Why do you think technical fields are still underpopulated with women, while fields like medicine and law are closer to 50/50?
Most of the people in society have notion that technical fields are for men. This attitude is reflected in their behavior when they dissuade their sisters/daughters from going for engineering or computer science. Because of the less number of women enrolling in these fields, the success rate has also been less. There aren’t many role models or examples to cite to encourage others. This has been one of the setbacks.
