Women in Computer Science

Designing, implementing, debugging, and optimizing are what computer scientists do. It requires a lot of patience and determination to remain focused on projects when they keep you in your workstation for a number of hours. It is very difficult to handle this pressure, especially for women, who generally need a social life. I don't mean that women lack focus, but they generally like social interactions also. Another important thing which has kept women away from computer science is computer games. Game makers have focussed on targeting their games towards men. Despite attempts of some companies to create computer games for women, they have never been hugely successful at attracting women in computer  games. This notion has created male dominance in computer science. But these notions about computer science have to change to attract more women towards this major.
