What does research say?

Women, where do we stand?
NY Times infograph, displays startling statistics about the lack of female representation, and decline of Women in High Tech fields.

Nearly 50 years after the modern women's movement began, the omission of women is fairly common, yet many people assume the battle for equality is largely over.
" Perfectly nice guys will say to me, 'You must be so happy you've won!' and she retorts ….
" ‘But are you working for a woman?' And they look appalled.”
Gloria Marie Steinem is an American feminist, journalist, and social and political activist who became nationally recognized as a leader of, and media spokeswoman for, the women's liberation movement in the late 1960s and 1970s.
