It is common for women to switch out of computing fields, related to issues like loss of confidence in their abilities and lack of interest. These are the reasons why these women were able to stick with it. Groups like the ACM-W and SWE give women a support system that can help them with common issues they face and give them a sense of community.
Coders Collaborative is an initiative to increase the retention of women in computing fields by creating a sense of community.
