I was at at a conference recently (codeconf for github Atom) and I noticed there were a number of women (30%?).  I commented to a women next to me that it was happy that there was such a good turnout of women. (I have been to many conferences where there were none).  She said she was there representing women in technology and she did not give me a happy look.  I thought it was an improvement.<p>One step at a time.
