Reviews
Wordiezett So much average
Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
Freaktana A Major Disappointment
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
garygrimm48 The basic premise of this documentary is the glaring under-representation of women on the world of computer coding. This theme expands to include other minority groups, such as Girls, Girls from the Inner City and members of LGBT. A balance of history and factual persuasion throughout, the viewer is given an immediate heads up as to the significant but untold contribution of women in the history of computers and computer science. As for the boy dominated geek world of the 70s, 80s, 90s, through today, it is a reminder of how poorly mannered and perverse the modern "look at me" media world has been all along. My favorite parts come when I see young girls encouraged to understand and appreciate how much they have to offer the world.
biancardh This film helped explain the gap in the coding industry that I was unaware of. Coding is such an important part in the world today and will benefit from an increase in knowledge and pursuance from both male and females. I feel women have the opportunity in this field but can be presented with bias and challenges while on the job. With experiencing this, it can affect the number of women present in the field. I hope the word of computer science gets out more and even more women can reconsider this career that had declined with female workers in the past.
ydmo This documentary is very empowering and makes you think about the opportunities women have. Women have amazing opportunities in the world and being a coder can open up even more doors to the future. Many of the women in the film aren't heard of as much as the men and if these women were to speak up more and make themselves noticeable in such careers, it can spike the interest of other women to join the work force and be involved in the coding world. really gets you thinking at to what other things women are actually part of and the rest of the world has no idea.
anissadotenbais I loved this documentary. I think every educator and parent should see it, especially if you have daughters. It will be eye opening and get you thinking. How have you been affected by the homogenized culture of computer science? What are we missing out on by having such a singular prospective under-representing us? Computer sciences are an integral part of our lives. Knowing the value of diversity is the first step in making lasting and meaningful changes in the "brogrammer" fraternities that are designing our lives. Watch it. Watch it with your daughters! Take it to your administration. Then do something to a make change in your community.
