Abstract: There have been discussions about the gender gap in STEM majors. While some fields (e.g., Biomedical Sciences) have a high proportion of women workers, the Computer Science (CS) and Software Engineering (SE) disciplines are lacking female specialists. Universities worldwide are implementing different practices to attract more women to the CS and SE programs. This literature review aims to collect literature on this topic, identify the research tendencies, and collect female-inclusive practices. This paper presents the main findings from analyzing 143 selected papers from five academic databases (IEEE, ACM, Web of Science, Science Direct, and Scopus). The analysis revealed the need for inclusivity across all education stages, emphasizing practical studies beyond the classroom. Twenty-eight gender-inclusive practices were identified.
