lindy,

This is all mind boggling to me. All Virginia Postrel and Dr. Summers had to do is look at the any medical or dental schools, and they'd know where the women scientists are.

Takes too long? Four years of Medical School and another three years to seven years of post doctoral training, and yet over 40% of Medical School classes nationally are women.

Too many hours? Has no one ever heard of the hours that third year medical students and many residents are asked to work?

As far as engineering goes, one should also note that Americans in general represent a smaller and smaller percentage of Doctoral students, so should it be a surprise that American women haven't made huge gains in the numbers of engineering phds?
