[ can't think of any place to meet young intelligent women ]

Young intelligent women are just about everywhere, but they're not always
easy to pick out from the crowd. Some places with a higher proportion of
YIW tend to be trade shows, conferences, Mensa meetings, universities and
work. Each of these has its own unique disadvantages, though, so beware.

[ engineering and computer fields predominantly male ]

Oddly enough, my experience ``out in the industry'' doesn't indicate this.
While there may be a small percentage of females in the eng/comp areas of
some companies, there are several companies where women make up more than
a third of the technical staff. And these women are competent, too.

(You want names? BNR, IBM, Dofasco, ...)
