O documento discute a contribuição histórica das mulheres para a computação e programação, notando que elas foram pioneiras na área mas foram esquecidas quando a história foi escrita. Ele destaca as realizações de figuras como Ada Lovelace, Grace Hopper e Hedy Lamarr, que ajudaram a construir a tecnologia moderna apesar de terem seus nomes excluídos dos livros de história. Atualmente, as mulheres ainda enfrentam desafios em se manter na área de TI devido a estereótipos e cultura machista.
Um estudo sobre mulheres na tecnologia da informaçãoUNIEURO
Quando se fala em informática, surge logo uma visão de participação principal ocupada pelos homens. Junto à evolução da tecnologia da informação vêm algumas mudanças relacionadas aos profissionais dessa área. A proposta deste trabalho é apresentar o início da participação das mulheres na informática e outros fatores decorrentes da presença feminina nas organizações. Estão disponíveis 3 tabelas e 3 gráficos que permitem verificar as principais áreas de atuação da mulher no mercado de trabalho, a população ocupada em algumas atividades do ramo de informática por sexo, a questão da diferença salarial entre gêneros do ramo, a distribuição dos profissionais de informática, segundo o tempo de experiência na área e a distribuição dos profissionais de Informática por idade, o que facilitará a compreensão da proeminente participação feminina no mundo da informática
Women have a rich history in computer technology, yet many of the top tech-savvy females are seemingly forgotten from the history books.
Forgotten women in tech history shares the stories of a few of the most important women in the field of computer science, since its humble beginnings.
79% das mulheres que ingressam para cursar essas faculdades abandona o curso no primeiro ano.
Em 2010, o salário das mulheres que trabalhavam em TI era 34% menor que o dos homens.
Quando se trata de cargos de gerência, a diferença aumenta ainda mais: o salário das mulheres fica 65% menor que o dos homens.
Por que isso acontece?
Como podemos MUDAR esse quadro?

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

Primeiras programadoras da história da computação.
Na divulgação do ENIAC no jornal, todos os homens que aparecem nessa foto foram apresentados, mas nada foi falado sobre as mulheres que nela apareciam. Por muito tempo as pessoas acreditaram que essas mulheres eram simples modelos, que elas apareceram apenas para "deixar a foto mais bonita". Essas mulheres eram 2 das mulheres que programaram o ENIAC, primeiro computador digital criado.
Durante a segunda guerra mundial, o exército americano tinha uma tarefa difícil: calcular a trajetória de mísseis balísticos. Eram utilizadas equações diferenciais para calcular essa trajetória. O problema é que levava 30h para realizar esses cálculos manualmete, e o exército precisava de centenas desses cálculos. Começaram então a contratar qualquer matemático, formado ou não, que pudesse resolver uma equação diferencial. Como os matemáticos homens já estava trabalhando para o governo, começaram a contratar mulheres. Cem mulheres foram contratadas, mas mesmo com o aumento da mão de obra, o cálculo não estava tão rápido quanto o necessário. Começou então um projeto experimental de automação do cálculo da trajetória, chamado de Electronic Numeral Integrator and Computer (ENIAC). Quando o ENIAC ficou pronto, em 1945, 5 mulheres (mais tarde passou a ser 6) foram selecionadas aleatoriamente dentre as 100 que haviam sido contratadas para trabalhar com o cálculo de trajetória dos mísseis. Essas mulheres tinham a tarefa de programar o ENIAC. Naquela época não havia linguagem de programação, compilador e nem sistema operacional. As 6 mulheres tiveram que entender o que era um computador, como interagir com ele e então quebrar o complexo cálculo matemático em pequenas tarefas para que o computador pudesse executar. Com o ENIAC, o cálculo balístico foi de 30h de execução para meros segundos. Em fevereiro de 1946, quando a Segunda Guerra já havia acabado o ENIAC foi apresentado ao mundo. Todas as glórias foram para os militares, Moore School of Electrical Engineering, na universidade da Pensilvania e para Eckert and Mauchly, os engenheiros de hardware. As seis programadoras NÃO foram apresentadas no evento e por terem aparecido em diersas fotos, assumiram que elas eram modelos. Ao fim da guerra, o governo fez uma campanha solicitando a todas as mulheres que deixassem seus trabalhos nas fábricas e nas fazendas para que os soldados que retornavam da guerra assumissem esses trabalhos, mas nenhum soldado sabia programar o ENIAC. As ENIAC Girls então foram fortemente encorajadas a continuar em seus postos e se tornaram as primeiras profissionais de programação, professoras de programação moderna e criaram ferramentas que facilitaram os softwares modernos. Na década de 90 houve um evento para comemorar os 50 anos do ENIAC e nenhuma das ENIAC Girls foi convidada para o evento.
O fato de mulheres serem estimuladas a serem programadoras não era nenhuma atitude moderna por parte das empresas. Acreditava-se que programar era como uma terefa de escritório que exigia poucas habilidades, assim como preencher formulários, atender e transferir ligações ou digitar. O trabalho difícil (cerebral) era a parte de hardware, para o qual a indústria reservava vagas apenas para homens. Desenvolver software era menos "masculino".
Com o tempo ficou claro que programar não era tão fácil assim… Na verdade era difícil. Programação passou a ser comparada com coisas masculinas, como xadrez e matemática. As empresas então começaram a treinar homens como programadores e passaram a contratar pessoas de ambos os sexos para vagas de programação. Mais tarde a contratação de mulheres passou a ser desencorajada.
Os processos seletivos se tornaram mais difíceis para mulheres. Testes matemáticos passaram a ser parte desse processo. Esses testes favoreciam aos homens, já que eles faziam mais matérias de matemática que mulheres na escola e as respostas dos testes era difundidas as escolas e fraternidades masculinas. Além disso, um teste de personalidade passou a ser feito. A partir desse teste surgiu o perfil do nerd de computação.
O número de mulheres em TI começou a decrescer nos anos 80. Nessa época computadores pessoais começaram a serem vendidos o alvo do marketing eram os meninos. Computador era um brinquedo de meninO e não era comprado para meninas. Mais tarde, quando essas crianças chegavam a faculdade de tecnologia, muitas mulheres nunca haviam tocado em um computador, enquanto muitos dos homens já o haviam operado desde a infância/adolescência. Nesse contexto, considerava-se que as mulheres tinham pouca aptidão para computação e muitas eram desencorajadas por seus professores a desistirem ou desistiam por vontade própria.
Eram 40% de mulheres na década de 80. Também foi apurado em 2005 que o curso de ciência da computação teve aumento na disparidade de gênero nas duas últimas décadas
Esse número nunca alcançou a faixa de 30% em diversos países
Esse aumento de mulheres na TI se deu a incentivos do governo
África: Líbia, Nigéria e Zimbábue
Ásia: Índia, Irã, Malásia e Tailândia
A Barbie programadora. O livro foi um escândalo quando lançado, porque a Barbie era uma programadora que não sabia programar e pedia ajuda a homens o tempo todo.
STEM – Science, technology, engineering, mathematics
O Gráfico mostra desde o interesse de crianças por áreas exatas durante a infancia até o ápice da carreira, que seria o cargo executivo. Mulheres possuem menos interesse por exatas, poucas possuem diplomas técnicos, poucas possuem cargos técnicos e pouquíssimas chegam a cargos de executivos técnicos
“Nós sempre fomo”s uma parte igual do passado. Nós só não fomos uma parte igual da história”- Gloria Steinem
“Você pode me colocar para baixo na história
Com suas mentiras tortas e amargas,
Você pode me pisar no próprio pó
Mas ainda, como poeira, eu vou me levantar”
