As it happens, my wife recently asked me (it might have sounded
more like an interrogation to someone else, but we've worked that one out)
about the degree to which women are participating in the Python community.

I only have names to go by, but my impression is very little.

Especially on this list, one might expect otherwise.

It happens that the only person I know who actually makes a living teaching
programming (C++ at a college level) is a woman.

Is the participation more diverse than I realize?

If not, any theories?

Is this an appropriate topic for discussion here?
