I know, at most, a dozen female programmers.
Why is it so few? Programming has a rather un-glamorous aura around it; we hear too often of computer geeks with glasses and pocket protectors and no social life who sit in front of three terminals, who engage in mindless trivial holy wars about which editor to use and which flavor of Unix/Linux/etc. is best. (It's not entirely untrue.) We get a bad rap. But those of us that are predisposed, or ignore the rap, get to love the art. (Ooh, how silly, a programmer calling it "art"? Get a life!) japhy -- Perl and Regex Hacker
