Disappearing Women’: A Study of Women Who Left the UK ICT Sector

The ‘Disappearing Women: Northwest ICT’ project reported in this paper focused on women who left the UK ICT sector and allowed their voices to be heard, telling how they had been overlooked and effectively silenced. Drawing on nine in-depth qualitative autobiographical interviews, we identify a typology of ‘disappearing women’ from the ICT
sector and several reasons for their decision to do so.
