HOWTO Encourage Women in Linux
Così magari per quando torno trovo maggiori stimoli a partecipare alle
attività del LinuxTrent :-)
Women are less confident
Women severely underestimate their abilities in many areas, but
especially with respect to computers. One study about this topic is
Undergraduate Women in Computer Science: Experience, Motivation, and
Culture: http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~gendergap/papers/sigcse97/sigcse97.html
For example, while 53% of the male computer science freshman rated
themselves as highly prepared for their CS courses, 0% of the female CS
freshman rated themselves similarly. But at the end of the year, 6 out
the 7 female students interviewed had either an A or B average.
Objective ratings (such as grade point averages or quality and speed of
programming) don't agree with most women's self-estimation. I personally
encountered this phenomenon: Despite plenty of objective evidence to the
contrary, including grades, time spent on assignments, and high
placement in a programming contest, I still didn't consider myself to be
at the top of my class in college. Looking back objectively, it seems
clear to me that I was performing as well or better than many of the far
more confident men in my class.

Stando così le cose è giusto che restino in cucina, in camera da
letto, e ne escano quando saranno sufficientemente self-confident da
ambire alla parità senza mendicarla. Non ci sono faccette per dimenticanza.
