November 30, 2007, 1:37 pm

By way of the Freakonomics blog comes word of an article in Scientific American about why women are underrepresented in science, engineering, and mathematics. Read more.

Meanwhile, check out this article in Slate about why many women leaders, despite doing great things for their constituents, receive little thanks and lower approval ratings than their male counterparts.

And thanks to Feminist Law Professors and Ms. JD for pointing out Ann Farmer’s informative article in Perspectives, a quarterly magazine published by the American Bar Association, about a troubling academic-hiring trend whereby women are increasingly being ghettoized in less prestigious, non-tenure-track jobs.

Finally, advice from the Juggle on how to stay off the mommy track.
