One thing that is important to know is that the percentage of women in computing has been
declining since its peak in the mid 80s, so things have actually been getting worse since when we olds started out.
Hell, my mom was a programmer in the late 50s/early 60s, back when it was a lady job.
Women have been working in computing since computing has existed, so to see the numbers declining so rapidly, even as women entered the workforce in larger numbers, points to something being very wrong.
