A woman who wants a family looks at the tough path to a tenured(终身的)position and considers how old she will be before she can start a family and how little time she will have to raise her children. Many of those women choose a more flexible career.
“Universities have been largely inflexible about anything other than the standard timetable, which means you’ll have to struggle for years and only then would you consider getting pregnant(怀孕的), ”said Wendy Williams, a human development professor at Cornell who co-authored the study with her husband, Stephen Ceci.
Williams and Ceci analyzed data about the academic careers of men and women with and without children. Before women became mothers, they had careers equal to or more successful than their male peers. But once they gave birth, the dynamic changed.
Women in other academic fields such as the humanities and social sciences face similar problems and often leave academia as well. But because there are so many women in those Ph D programs, enough finally stay to amount to a critical mass of female professors.
In math-heavy fields, however, women make up a tiny minority of the graduate students. So when the rare few who make it through a Ph D program leave because universities are not concerned about their needs as mothers at all, the net result is almost no women represented on faculty rosters(教师名单), the study said.
