The Soviet pattern is reproduced today in places like Iran, where many more women study engineering.

Meanwhile, in Scandinavia, the traditionally-female professions like nursing are even more female-dominated than in the USA.

The trend seems to be: The freer the society, the less women are entering the tech workforce and the more they choose traditionally feminine work.

This even applies in the time-trend in America, where women in tech has reduced significantly since the 80's, while feminism has only become more dominant and wealth has increased.

Food for thought.
