I could not found the articles I read but I found some papers, with further research I'm sure you can find a lot more about the topic:

The computer games industry: Women's experiences of work role in a male dominated environment - a paper that touches your question too, for example women care more about a flexible schedule and are more sensitive to relocation.

Gender Balance Research & Development Programme for the Games Industry Report This one is more extensive, collecting more data and gathered also the most common answers from the Recruiters, on why from 1600 applications only a few were female.

I know they are Gaming related papers but I think most of the reasons can be found in Software/IT aswell.
