Wanted:Womenscientists.html

This article discusses the progress that women have made as scientists, pointing out that they are fairly well represented in higher education. At the same time, however, female scientists only make up 25-35% of professional researchers. The article asks why this is, especially as there are ever greater numbers of women graduating within the fields of science and engineering.
