Some more interesting food for thought from the NY Times - Daring to Discuss Women in Science
Very interesting article. I think that they are trying to look at the data a bit too quickly. Being 13 in 1991, I can tell you there was distinct differences in the attitudes while in school versus those in the years before me (I had cousins that went to school in the early 80s). Now we (late 70's kids) are at the age of having children. In 10-13 years, I would expect the 4:1 ratio to narrow to a 2:1, and then the generation after that, I wouldn't be surprised to see a balance.
