Hello,
As a mother of 2 small children (2 and 5), I have very limited available
time but I have been trying to follow the thread. Mostly what I have issues
with ends up being addressed by someone else and so I have kept aside. But
there are two things that seem to have been missed:

I feel the need to express a view of gender and family issues in
academia that is more optimistic than many of the posts so far on this
thread. This isn't to deny the existence of gender inequity or problems
with being an academic and having a family. I just would like younger
women (and men) i
With the on-going discussion here of issues involving challenges of careers
with children, childlessness, and the subugation of women, this seems like a
good opportunity for me to plug a recent publication of mine that may be of
interest to some - available for download at:

Not only is it a challenge to incorporate pregnancy and child-rearing into
professional lives, but women (and men) also have the occasional challenge
of coping with infertility issues. With this comes the need to stay close to

I find it interesting that a woman refers to other women as
"incapacitated" due to pregnancy. And Bill's comments that pregnancy
costs money also shows an interesting capitalistic perspective on pregnancy.
I think we have our priorities confused when speaking that way. Having

As someone with an MS, who hopes to still get her doctorate, I find there

beginning a family. Since a woman has to spend some number of months
incapacitated due to the late stages of pregnancy and the early stages of
childcare, it s
Dear colleagues,
I am sad to report that gross gender differences do exist.
I never felt any sexual bias in undergraduate (University of Chicago) or
graduate school (Harvard). However, now in the work place I am shocked at the
