I was away on a snowmobiling vacation in Canada for International Women's Day in March this year so I missed seeing Sheryle Moon's speech. I just caught up with it tonight and she raises some really important points.   
  
Women do not want to work in the IT industry. We have to ask ourselves is it women or the industry or government policy that needs to change?  
  
Sheryle Moon is a real inspiration to women, but do we really want to be available 24x7 like she is?
