On a related note, I just saw a post on Google+ by Felicia Day about
Maria Klawe, who has apparently trebled the number of female students
majoring in Computer Science.

"On her watch, the percentage of female computer science majors at Mudd,
one of California’s prestigious Claremont colleges, has more than
tripled, to
42 percent. Nationally, women account for 14 percent of college graduates
in the field, according to the Computing Research Assn."
