>Where are the women? I once read a short article on this topic. The author was trying to explain it suggesting that many technical books are using rather man-appealing analogies when explaining concepts which has discouraging effect for women. They were about experiment with this in Germany, planning to rewrite text-books (/lectures) using neutral and woman-appealing analogies. I did not really follow it so not sure what the outcome was.
