Women in Astrophysics
Campus, Hewlett Teaching Center, 200
(in-person attendance limited to Stanford affiliates)
There are proportionally more women in astrophysics than in many other branches of physics, but they are still in a minority. For many years the IAU (International Astrophysical Union) has recorded separately its male and female membership. Using this data base I will review how the fraction of astrophysicists that are female has varied with time and by country.
