According to this survey, only 5.4% of the full professors in the mathematical sciences are women. For doctorate granting departments, Group I-III, the percent drops to 2.9%. [10] I examine these and other questions in depth in my forthcoming book on contemporary women in mathematics. [11] Halmos, Paul. I Want to Be a Mathematician. New York: Springer-Verlag, p. 400. 1985. [12] There are a few instances where such issues are raised in biographies of male mathematicians. See, for example, Constance Reid's biography of Hilbert.

[16] Other topics such as women caring for elderly parents, or sick or dependent adults are also very important and give rise to similar conflicts as having children. [17] Hardy, G.
