Sorry to burst your bubble, there are plenty of women in the infrastructure
world. In addition to those named, one of the best instructors we had in the
Netgun Academy at Cisco was Debbie Smith. I was a Sr Systems Engineer for
two years and have accepted a position at IBM as a Senior I/T Architect.
Still on track for CCIE this year.
Granted there's not as many women as men, but the women I know in the
industry are sharp and knowledgeable.
