For the first time in my history at OSU, I have all women professors this quarter. (Last quarter was all men.) I would say that this is largely due to the fact that I am taking two English classes, except when I really think about it, the majority of my English professors have actually been men as well.

Ironically, one of those classes is Dr. Sharon Collingwood's "Women in Science Fiction," so maybe that is why I'm noticing the sudden female presence more acutely. I'm sure there are reams of studies published about this, but my own limited experience in academia has already shown me that it is not a terribly family-friendly lifestyle. Of course plenty of women make it work, and that is a very good thing, but I know for sure that it is not for me.

Just as an interesting exercise, the gender break-up by department of my professors:
English: 6 men, 3 women
Chemistry: 4 men, 2 women
Biochemistry: 1 man
PCMB: 1 man
Geology: 1 man
Math: 1 woman
International Studies: 1 man
Linguistics: 1 woman
Physics: 3 men
Art History: 1 woman

Total: 17 men, 8 women
Almost a 2:1 ratio in totals and individual departments. Very interesting. Here's an article from USC's faculty newsletter about Gender Inequity in Academia.
