I braved a longer look around on Twitter last night and signed up to all sorts of construction organisations to 'follow' them. Everybody's there ! It's like a party where lots of the conversation is just "knowing you, knowing me" stuff but every now and again you find something or someone useful.
I got especially excited when I spotted this article: http://tinyurl.com/c4n3cp7 ,mainly because I found it so quickly, it was relevant and most importantly: I knew it to be current. When I trawl through google looking for articles on women in construction a lot of what I find is old news.
Anyway - have a quick look at the article, it's highlighting again the under-representation of women in the construction industry across professions and on site. They quote Chrissi McCarthy who is a great woman I've been in touch with and runs a company called "Constructing Equality" up in Liverpool.
There's also a reference to women feeling unwelcome on site. I've personally never felt this but would be really interested to hear your thoughts.
