The article seems kind of unfocused and meandering. It touches on the common talking point of women being discouraged from STEM, then about the good time the author had doing research for her fiction novel, and some scenes from the novel, but it never actually says anything about the plot of said novel. "There's a professor who may or may not be creepy and a student who may or may not fall in love with him" is about as far as it goes. An area of academia as seen by an outsider usually makes for good storytelling but this article is a mess.
