An interesting post by Antonella Pavese, worthy of reading and discussion. I have worked with several women in IT over the years, and I have several friends who work as entrepreneurs, but I too find a disturbing lack of women in the IT fields.

Leaving IT | AntonellaPavese.com

After 5 years, a few weeks ago I decided I had enough of IT; it was time to quit. The same week I moved from IT to the Marketing department of my company, other two women who have managed me at various times did the same. It seems that we are not alone: Roy Mark wrote a commentary on Internet News (Where have all the women gone?; via Caterina Fake on Misbehaving.net) about women slowly bleeding out of IT (a 20% decrease in the percentage of women in the last 10 years).
