Both female and male computer scientists need good female role models, and for the same reasons. In my own life I've been very fortunate to have been influenced by my mother (who taught me to program at an early age), by a grade school computing teacher (who also encouraged me to learn programming), and by my wife (a professional software engineer, among other things). I like to think that my wife's professional career has given my kids some similar perspective - even if only to change their unconscious assumptions about what women can do (which is everything, since my wife has been a writer, a software engineer, a business analyst, and a small business owner - and that's just what she's done professionally). Women needs to believe that they're capable of everything, and men need to believe that women are capable of everything, too. The same goes for men about men, and women about men. Feminism isn't about replacing patriarchy with matriarchy. It's about egalitarianism for all genders. That's all I meant.
I just copy and pasted the article and attached the photo to an email to my 1 year old daughter. I have an email account for her for just this kind of thing. I can only hope she's as inspired by it when she grows up and reads the emails as I hope she will be :)
