Women are told from a young age that science and math are for boys. They're even graded more harshly, and so people who have a natural inclination are kind of pushed away from it. So there's a smaller talent pool to draw on.
And once women get into computer science, they tend to deal with a lot of sexism from the guys there (not all of course, but enough) who feel it's a field for men and that women cannot and should not be doing it. And then it remains a problem into the full careers.

I wasn't told that, and where are you from that girls were graded more harshly? That's messed up. My sister also is in computer sciences, but she didn't have problems. It was easy for her to find work. Studies in the US, at least, showed that women are preferred 2-1 in STEM.
