A comment on Learning to Code as a Woman Changed My Life.

I don't think the title is representative of the article.

I will try to list the different themes of the article:

1) The author being a woman

2) The author coming from a background with low exposure to programming, making it an unpopular career choice, and not a relevant subject in school.

3) The author did not pursue a higher education program involving programming.

The article focuses more on 2) and 3) rather than 1), which is the title.

I think the article does an excellent job of communicating why the article should be of interest to the audience Glamour targets.

Which is, after all, the whole point of a headline.
