Citation from the MIT Press Article about Computing History of Britain:
"The British experience shows us what happens when skilled women workers doing high level technological labor are not simply disrespected, but actually systematically driven out of their jobs and out of the field. This exodus caused computing in Britain to collapse following an incredibly strong start: After creating the first digital electronic computer in the world and using it to help the Allies win World War II, Britain went on to a string of accomplishments in early electronic computing. They translated these accomplishments into a strong computing industry that seemed poised to compete with US technology on a global scale. Yet by the mid-1970s the British industry had imploded, gutted of the technological expertise and labor required for it success."
