As an alumna of a western women's college, this line from the linked article resonated very strongly with me:

The seven women were mostly educated in gender-segregated classes. As a result, they did not feel out of place in a physics setting because of their gender.

I began my undergrad education as a creative writing major and ended it as an astrophysics major. That would never have happened at a co-ed school.

I've met a few Arab women like that and it was always interesting talking to them.
