My understanding is they filled the need of work being done while the men were off at war.
But again. Just because there were women doing a job that is very different than today's or the last 40 years of programming and now there is not does not indicate that there was actual discrimination that caused woman to leave the industry.
1) Thr job changed dramatically.
2) Aftet the war we had the baby boomers. Women were off making a ton of babies not programming.
3) The entire job market changed for both men and woman away from manufacturing to white collar jobs. This opening the doors for both men and women to have jobs else where.
