Analysis of some aspects of the female part in the Stack Overflow survey 2020.
Stack Overflow has been surveying its users and contributors yearly since 2011. Over the years, this questionnaire has developed into a survey to understand the participants' interests in technologies or frameworks, but moreover, it seeks to understand people's diversity in programming worldwide.
Thus, the Stack Overflow survey 2020 offers an excellent opportunity to figure out more about women in programming.

The female workforce in the programming community is a minority. Nevertheless, the women are a highly-educated and often young workforce in various fields where programming is needed. The majority work as developers and are satisfied with their jobs. A company culture with flex-time and exciting programming languages and frameworks are of high importance to these women.
