Are women less talented in Computer Science?


==========================

``In fact, most work with computers involves manipulation of information and communication with people, which relies as much on verbal and interpersonal skills as on mathematical abilities."
V. Clarke


==========================

``[I]t is not true that girls are no good at computing or that they are not interested in computing, but it is true that both men and women believe that girls are no good at computing and believe that they do not like computing. Such beliefs are self-perpetuating, and difficult, but not impossible, to change."
V. Clarke
