The Untold History of Women in Science and Technology
A Guide for Minorities in STEM: Increasing Workplace Diversity (US website)
“While women make up 57% of the workforce, only 26% hold computing jobs (NCWIT). This guide was made to spread awareness of the issue, and of the resources available.

For women looking to get into tech it lists common positions, position requirements, and average salaries. It also lists training resources for women in technology.” View: A Guide for Women to Break Into Information Technology, here.
