A plethora of jobs for information and communication technology professionals is predicted for the future, and female students outnumber male students in tertiary education. Nevertheless, women are significantly underrepresented in the computer science field. Stereotyping and lack of interest, encouragement, exposure, confidence, and role models are some of the factors contributing to this gender gap issue. However, most factors are actionable and these actions need to be taken to ensure the 21st century's advanced technological world does not miss out, for our society's benefit, on women's perspectives and innovative technological contributions.
