Gender Equity in Cyberspace.
Weinman, Janice; Haag, Pamela
Educational Leadership, v56 n5 p44-49 Feb 1999

Boys are attracted to graphic arts and design; girls typically enroll in clerical and data-entry courses--the 1990s version of typing. Educators must help girls become "power users" and designers.
