Gender Chip Project
http://www.genderchip.org/node/54
In 1998 filmmaker Helen De Michiel brought together several
young women majoring in the sciences, engineering and math at
Ohio State University in Columbus. They agreed to meet regularly
over the next three years of college, and create a community
to share experiences and struggles as women stepping into traditionally
male domains. The documentary reveals how women are finding
new ways to honor their own growth, motivations and experience
as they imagine how to make the science and technology workplace
a comfortable environment. Companion resources are available.
