Are you disappointed because women are not contributing to "breakthrough technologies" or do you think there were worthwhile women that were overlooked?
Highly relevant question. As someone with a signal processing background, the SFT is so huge that without doubt it should be on this list. Knowing MIT's meritocracy, they would have given the award to more women if it were appropriate
I'm basically just stating the fact, leaving an interpretation open for everyone who's interested.
A while ago, there were a few front page posts about the role of women in IT, and about how they find themselves in their work environments. The MIT list is not restricted to computer science, but perhaps it can be interpolated to the relevant fields here, too?
I think it stands out that women are heavily under-represented on this list, and although explanations for that fact might be manifold, I personally just find it a bit sad to look at that outcome.
