Hi ladies!
I have found this article to be quite an interesting read:
https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/02/the-more-gender-equality...
Although the title doesn't sound very encouraging, it has some interesting insights.
"The upshot of this research is neither especially feminist nor especially sad: It’s not that gender equality discourages girls from pursuing science. It’s that it allows them not to if they’re not interested."
"Then again, it could just be that, feeling financially secure and on equal footing with men, some women will always choose to follow their passions, rather than whatever labor economists recommend. And those passions don’t always lie within science."
I hope you find it interesting too!
Cheers,
Sofía
