[Hidden-tech] Survey

[Caryl Rivers]

Hi everyone. This note is directed to the female Hidden tech  members . I am
in the midst of work on my new book, ³The New Soft war on Women.² Research
shows that while young women do well at entry level, often recruited by
companies looking for diversity, the picture changes the higher women go.
Buried landmines and stereotypes hold women back in a major way; they carry
a burden that men simply do not have to bear.  (Women in tech areas often
have special problems working in a male dominated field. )
 
With my co author, Dr. Roz Barnett, I have put together  a short survey
asking women whether they have experienced several of the problem scenarios
that 
hamstring women. I¹d be very pleased if those of you who have the time and
interest would fill out our survey. The more details the better, as far as
we are concerned.  (Please note if you would be happy with having your name,
position and place of business used. If not, we would be happy to
use the information while  disguising your identity and where you work.)
 
To see the survey, go to http://softwarsurvey.com/
 
When you hit submit, the completed survey goes directly to Dr. Barnett.
­thanks, caryl rivers
