Makes a nice change to see a young lady technician. I taught my daughter how to solder, but she's now at college designing & making dresses
What a shame. Percentage wise, there are very, very few hands-on electronics enthusiast women in Australia. Since before women's lib and equal opportunity until now, the tiny percentage of Australian born women studying electronics engineering has dropped to almost zero. It is pathetic. About 10 years ago I emailed 30 women's rights organisations around the world kindly asking for their opinion why there are so few female electronics technicians, electronics engineers or ham radio operators compared to men and none of them could (or would) answer the question. I would dare say the reason has nothing to do with men.
Australian born female electronics engineers who do still do analogue or digital work in their 50's are, to my knowledge, non-existent. Australian women have always been very rare sight in real electronics component stores, except if they have been asked to run an errand.
What was the reason your daughter went from electronics to dress making?
