Abstract

Women are underpaid and underpromoted across the professions generally and in academic science in particular. For relevant references, see the other chapters in this book, (1, 2, 3), the National Science Foundation's (NSF's) periodic reports, and American Association of University Professors' (AAUP's) annual data. Helpful websites include the Gender Equity Project at Hunter College: www.hunter.cuny.edu/genderequity and the gender tutorials at www.hunter.cuny.edu/gendertutorial. data. I will not review the data here but concentrate on how to explain the data.
