Where are the Women, Part 358
I've written elsewhere about the paucity of women on newspaper op-ed pages, and God knows I've written (probably way too much) here about the women in sciences issue.
But these gender deficits keep cropping up. Now the Project for Excellence in Journalism has released a study showing that women are dramatically under-represented as sources in journalism.
So women are under-represented in academia...business...journalism. The list goes on. It occurs to me that if women could unite across these fields to raise the issues these gender deficits have in common, there could be a real movement here—a second wave of feminism.
(Or has there already been a second wave? Maybe a third wave? Where's
Naomi Wolf when you need her?)
