In recent years the discipline of computer science has become recognized as a male dominated field. Attempts have been made to encourage more women to participate but, have such efforts been supported or directed by the available research? This article presents a description of the current situation and reviews the existing body of research related to the undergraduate experience of women in computer science. Based on the research, some implications for computer science education are outlined. Suggestions are also given for further research needed to more completely describe the current situation and direct changes.
