Jane Margolis and Allan Fisher's book Unlocking the Clubhouse: Women in Computing presented computer education as a clubhouse for boys that was resulting in women and girls being left out of the computer science (CS) loop. This research reveals that now, almost 20 years later, a number of doors, walls, and windows still inhibit certain students from equal access and participation to the computing clubhouse and provides data from Ontario, Canada indicating that females make up only 26%, 21%, and 15.7% of student enrolled in the Grade 10, Grade 11, and Grade 12 high school courses, respectively. Considering the number of initiatives and money related to expanding CS education, including a revision of high school CS curriculum in Ontario and $60 million of additional CanCodes money provided by the federal government, a better understanding of the underrepresentation of females in high school CS is critical.
