This report examines the ongoing gender divide in computing and, in particular, the determinants and distractors that influence women's decisions to study and pursue careers in technology.Numerous research studies have explored this divide in the past, and many of the findings are routinely cited in the literature.However, most of this research was conducted some years ago.Technology is a field that changes rapidly, and societal understanding and embracement of computers and technology have also evolved.This paper reports on a longitudinal study that seeks to measure changes in perceptions over time and determine whether or not prior barriers are as impactful as they might have been.
