For one of my classes ("Women and Computers"), I'm doing a project on
ways in which the message "Computers/Science/Engineering isn't for
girls/women" (or the opposite) is communicated.  Some examples would
include:

	- Computer ads or booths featuring scantily-clad women.

	- An ad I received for a pink calculator that could
	  fit in my "chic little handbag", with large keys
	  to keep from breaking my "gorgeous nails."
	  (Their words, not mine.)

	- Being treated differently by teachers or coworkers.
	  
I've been collecting some of the more egregious examples for the
past few years, and I'm hoping some others out there have their
favorite examples.  I am interested in xeroxes or references
to items in print as well as anecdotes.  Despite the one-sidedness
of my examples, I am interested in both pro- and anti- female
material.  Please email me (erspert@athena.mit.edu) or physically
send material to:

		Ellen Spertus
		MIT AI Lab, room 630
		545 Technology Square
		Cambridge, MA 02139

I will send copies of my report to anyone who contributes and/or
is interested.  Thanks in advance for any help.  Flames to /dev/null.
