I should have mentioned that I was mostly referring to historically underrepresented minority women (blacks and Hispanics). This may affect what you have observed. Asians, in particular, are overrepresented in education and technology when compared to the general population statistics in the US.

I do have to agree partially with you. Asians (East and Indian) women are fairly well represented as a percentage of women in total. I've seen very few Hispanic women in computing (and sadly, very few Hispanics in general). However, I've met more black women in computing than black men. This is all anecdotal of course, but there's some kind of deeper sociological pattern there I'm sure.
