A women’s career till middle of the 20th century was not more than a school teacher, a librarian, a social worker or a nurse. A woman really had to work hard to earn less pay for the same job where men are highly paid, in this male-dominating society. The birth of Computer age opens the door of a whole new type of career for women: programming; the process of enabling machines to do a certain task by writing a set of instructions. Historically and conventionally, presence of women associated with field of engineering and science have been less prominent as compared to their counterpart. However, recent efforts initiated through various organizations, governmental and nongovernmental, attempting development of interest, promoting significance, increasing awareness and creating opportunities have improved statistics considerably. Globally, involvement of women with engineering and science has always been noticeably low. In this research article, we analyze the role of women in engineering and science, specially the science of information technology discipline and highlighting the causes of women’s experience and work role in a male dominating environment.
