Cracking the Digital Ceiling: Women in Computing Around the World
暫譯: 破解數位天花板：全球女性在計算機領域的角色

計算機科學是否只是男性的領域？男性和女性是否適合不同的職業？這本書集結了全球的觀點，挑戰了這些普遍存在的西方觀念，這些觀念被用來解釋女性在計算機領域參與度低的原因。透過深入探討不同文化如何影響全球女性在計算機領域的經歷，這本書向讀者介紹了支持轉向環境因素而非天生潛力的理論和證據，以理解什麼決定了女性在這個不斷增長的領域中的參與。這是一個喚醒的呼籲，促使人們檢視各種文化和環境中的障礙與催化劑，幫助那些希望改善現狀的人了解他們可以在哪裡尋求改變，以影響女性在教室、公司和行政機構中的參與。計算機科學家、STEM 教育工作者、各學科的學生、科技行業的專業人士、性別平等的領導者、人類學家和政策制定者都將從閱讀這本書中受益。
