Diana Betz has an article up on Scientific American titled "The Trouble with Barbie Science", about efforts to recruit more women into the sciences. Among other things she's reacting negatively to work done by the Society of Women Engineers, an organization I've respected in the past for knowing what it's doing.
So I'm asking my female scientist friends here - what do you guys make of this? Is the SWE right? Is Betz right? Are they both right, or both missing the point?
