Deborah Ascher Barnstone from Sydney, Australia says,"The ratio of men to women was 50-50 in my graduating class at Columbia University in 1992, but today, most of my female classmates have dropped out of the profession." Although many women are passionate about architecture, they drop out due to the stereotype that women cannot pursue such a course.
