I'm not sure there is a "significant increase." Women have been earning more post-graduate degrees than men in some STEM fields for a while. They're just not as well represented overall in the work force. That's a choice, not a lack of opportunity. I think there's a myriad of reasons why it's increasing though. Society, technology and, most importantly, desire.
