source? and what kind of degree? women phd's in english are common. they also don't make much money off it. women phd's in engineering are vanishingly rare, but engineering doctorates pay quite well. women mfa's are common. women meng's are not. similarly, gender parity has been achieved in md's -- but women md's seem to end up in the lower-paying practices (e.g. child psychiatry is loaded with them) and great gender disparity remains at the higher-paying ends (e.g. surgery). (as a former teacher of statistics, one gets really interested in what they don't say, relative to what they do....even if you take their word for what they say, which is not always the best idea.) --vicka
