A lot of women did information science in the 70s, close to 40% of all information science majors, then women moved away to invest in other majors. It would be laughable to suggest that information science was more welcoming to women in the 1970s but not now. Clearly, a third set of factors is at play unrelated to hostile working environments. Similarly, a large number of women did maths and statistics then that trend petered out in the 1980s.

Another boy’s own analysis by the IMF of the decline of unions and inequality in recent decades

we find strong evidence that lower unionization is associated with an increase in top income shares in advanced economies during the period 1980–2010
Gender analysis! Gender analysis! Where is the gender analysis, which is central to any analysis of inequality in and outside of the labour market!
Women have done swimmingly over the last few decades in terms of closing the gender wage gap, increasing labour force participation and overtaking men in investment in higher education.

As for unions and women, their record of discrimination against women as threat to the union wage premium was so appalling that even Hollywood was willing to take a swipe at unions and the hostility with which mining unions, for example, greeted the first female miners.
In spite of women’s early involvement in labour struggles, deeply ingrained prejudices against women taking a full role in the workplace were often reinforced by labour unions themselves. Women were seen as mere auxiliaries to the movement, or worse, as threats to men’s jobs.
