But this is my point, it is not businesses that were discriminating against women in engineering, but rather norms in society leading women not to think naturally about a career in engineering. Conversely, businesses have not had to change their requirements or standards in order to attract more women into engineering. The change has come about by making engineering an option that increasing numbers of women will naturally consider for a career.
