So, what I'm reading is that it appears the tide is turning, and
that we will likely see more women participating in QB in the
future? Perhaps this is similar to what is also happening in the
medicine and engineering fields: Women represent less than a third
of all practicing physicians. However, they make up half of all
currently enrolled medical students. Women comprise only 15% of the
science & engineering workforce but comprise 25% of the currently
enrolled science & engineering students. This all points to a trend
of more women in traditionally male-dominated fields, and perhaps
this extends to QB as well.
