<div dir="ltr">Dear Isabelle,<div>The NSF tracks information about the participation of women, minorities, and people with disabilities in STEM fields, and makes the most current data publicly available here: <a href="http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/wmpd/2013/tables.cfm">http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/wmpd/2013/tables.cfm</a></div>
<div>These tables include information on women's enrollment in undergraduate and graduate programs, as well as degrees awarded at various levels (BS/BA through PhD) and attainment of career milestones.

It's good to see that the history has a better proportion of women overall than this year alone would suggest. Note, though, that language acquisition is a primarily female field. If all other things are equal - and they may not be - we would expect to see primarily female speakers over the long haul. That is, in the case of language acquisition, we don't expect 50-50 but many more women, just as, in fields that are male-dominated, we don't expect 50-50, but many more men.</font></div>
