              \enquote{This book describes a project at Carnegie-Mellon University that tried to figure out why so few women
              become programmers, and what can be done to correct the imbalance. Its first six chapters describe the
              many small ways in which we are all, male and female, are conditioned to believe that computers are "boy's
              things". Sometimes it's as simple as putting the computer in the boy's room, because "he's the one who
              uses it most". Later on, the "who needs a social life?" atmosphere of undergraduate computer labs drives
              many women away (and many men, too). The last two chapters describe what the authors have done to
              remedy the situation at high schools and university. This work proves that by being conscious of the many
              things that turn women off computing, and by viewing computer science from different angles, we can
              attract a broader cross-section of society, which can only make our discipline a better place to be. The
              results are impressive: female undergraduate enrolment at CMU rose by more than a factor of four during
              their work, while the proportion of women dropping out decreased significantly.}},
