For more evidence of continuing underrating of female academics, see this study which showed that a gender disparity remained for male and female scientists who had obtained prestigious fellowships: G Sonnert, G Holton, ‘Career patterns of women and men in the sciences: women encounter social obstacles and may pay penalties for a careful research style’,
