>Mathematics full professors that are female is a number in the single digits. I'm not going to let this slide. This would be scandalous if it were true; however: http://www.mi.uni-koeln.de/Bringmann/ http://www.mi.uni-koeln.de/Bringmann/ https://www.math.psu.edu/wli/ https://www.math.psu.edu/wli/ https://web.math.princeton.edu/~smorel/ https://web.math.princeton.edu/~smorel/ http://www.math.tamu.edu/~ptretkoff/ http://www.math.tamu.edu/~ptretkoff/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryam_Mirzakhani http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryam_Mirzakhani http://math.uchicago.edu/~wilkinso/ http://math.uchicago.edu/~wilkinso/ http://www.math.wisc.edu/~lsmith/ http://www.math.wisc.edu/~lsmith/ http://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/people/frances.kirwan http://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/people/frances.kirwan http://math.stanford.edu/~ionel/ http://math.stanford.edu/~ionel/ http://gauss.math.yale.edu/~ho2/ http://gauss.math.yale.edu/~ho2/ I could easily keep going. Edit: As ninguem2 points out, apparently the author was referring to the percentage of female math professors. Nevertheless, if you do not count only doctoral-level departments, even that appears to not be true: http://www.ams.org/profession/data/cbms-survey/chapter4.pdf http://www.ams.org/profession/data/cbms-survey/chapter4.pdf (This study is counting all tenured professors, rather than full professors only, but the proprortion is well enough north of 10% that I feel it's safe to extrapolate.) Of course, the proportion of female math professors is terribly and inexcusably low, but the situation is at least slightly less bleak than is painted here.
