When I tell people I’m an engineer, they still assume I mean “software engineer”—and even then they look surprised. I work in civil, and you should see the reaction when I say I’m on site in steel-toe boots more than behind a desk. Have you found that certain STEM fields are still seen as more “female-acceptable” than others?

Definitely. I work in a chemical plant as a project engineer/construction manager. I'm in the field at least once a week and am a key member of the maintenance projects once a year. My co-workers are amazing, but not all contractors listen to me like they do my male counterparts. It's been quite the experience.
