During the past few weeks, women in computing have been posting photos of themselves on Twitter along with the hashtag #ILookLikeanEngineer. The posts are in response to an article by Isis Anchalee, This Is What an Engineer Looks like???. In her article, Isis explains that her photo was included in a recruiting campaign for her employer, and she was unprepared for the responses her image provoked. “Some people think I’m not making the right face. Others think that this is unbelievable as to what female engineers look like,” she writes.
