Huh?!?!?!?!
Any of them!
In the sciences in general (and I would assume this is true in engineering) more women major in biology than the other sciences, and physics seems to have the fewest women. But to me, this means absolutely nothing! Especially since I was a physics major!
The sciences and engineering fields used to be very much an old-boys club, but that's becoming less and less true today. For example, MIT (undergraduate) is almost 50% female, while when I was there (class of 1995) it was only 35% female.
You really shouldn't be looking at which field is best for girls, but which field is best for you!

Any field you want!! I go to an engineering school and chemical, biomedical, civil and mechanical engineering have the highest proportion of females. But, in fields with fewer females, like electrical engineering, there can be more scholarship opportunities. Don't base your education or career around what is expected or what has traditionally been the case, go for what you want!! Good Luck!

Try this. Years ago, I was considering following my older brother into the legal profession. I asked him, "What's it like to be a lawyer?" He responded, "There are as many people trapped in the field of law as anywhere else." I thought he was being evasive; and then I thought about it. So think about it. What is it that YOU want to do, maybe for the next 20-40 years? Forget your gender; forget the salary. (But I do have a niece studying Chemical.) Hope this helps.

A field with a lot of guys in it.....you will have your choice of jobs for being different if you are good at what you trained for....

I believe any field would be. There shouldn't be a limitation on it.

The kind that involves what they studied. I don't see how gender applies here.
