I applaud your efforts to expand women's participation in tech
courses.  People like you make me think of Bette Midler's song from
"Beaches" that includes the line "Did I ever tell you, you are my
hero?"

I've just become interested in theatre because I saw a production of
John Patrick Shanley's "Three Women of Manhattan" here in L.A.
Despite some problems (I think the second of four acts should be cut,
for instance) I thought it was terrific & I've gone back to see it
several times.  Other productions here (that I remember off the top of
my head, I'm not trying to be complete) that seem to be both good
theatre & express the women's viewpoint well are "A Shaina Maydel" and
"The Heidi Chronicles."

What are some others that people on this thought especially good (or
were popular or highly publicized but have major flaws)?
