This is what life has been like with my decisions, and how I approach my own situation. Even in , a degree in which women earn the majority of PhDs, they hold a significant amount of fewer tenured positions, roughly 19 percent in 1994.

IMHO, that's a smart move. Some interviews were very intense panel interviews that ultimately left me feeling worthless.

In societies, women were generally the gatherers of plant foods, small animal foods and fish, while men hunted meat from large animals. Originally, starting at a young age, aspirations occupationally are typically veered towards specific directions according to gender. Traditionally, women were involved in domestic tasks emphasizing child care. Many of the occupations that were available to them were lower in pay than those available to men. These shifts in the labor force led to changes in the attitudes of women at work, allowing for the revolution which resulted in women becoming career and education oriented. However, throughout the 1980s, institutions tried to equalize conditions for men and women in the workplace. Even so, the inequalities at home stumped women's opportunities to succeed as far as men. Professional women are still generally considered responsible for domestic labor and child care. Furthermore, though there has been an increase in the endorsement of egalitarian gender roles in the home by both women and men, a recent research study showed that women focused on issues of morality, fairness, and well-being, while men focused on social conventions. Until the early 20th century, U. Movements advocate for both sexes and irrespective of gender. Although a greater number of women are seeking higher education, their salaries are often less than those of men. CBS News claimed in 2005 that in the United States women who are ages 30 to 44 and hold a university degree make 62 percent of what similarly qualified men do, a lower rate than in all but three of the 19 countries for which numbers are available. Some Western nations with greater inequity in pay are Germany, New Zealand and Switzerland. Violence against women remains a widespread problem, fueled, especially outside the West, by patriarchal social values, lack of adequate laws, and lack of enforcement of existing laws. Social norms that exist in many parts of the world hinder progress towards protecting women from violence.

In addition, there are also countries which have criminal legislation against the practice of witchcraft. In , witchcraft remains a crime , and in 2011 the country beheaded a woman for 'witchcraft and sorcery'.

The relation between religion, law and gender equality has been discussed by international organizations. Main article: Female education includes areas of gender equality and access to education, and its connection to the alleviation of poverty. Also involved are the issues of single-sex education and religious education in that the division of education along gender lines as well as religious teachings on education have been traditionally dominant and are still highly relevant in contemporary discussions of educating females as a global consideration. While the feminist movement has certainly promoted the importance of the issues attached to female education the discussion is wide-ranging and by no means narrowly defined. It may include, for example, education. In some Western countries, women have surpassed men at many levels of education. The CIA World Factbook presents an estimate from 2010 which shows that 80% of women are literate, compared to 88. Literacy rates are lowest in South and West Asia, and in parts of Sub-Saharan Africa. OECD countries Education The educational in OECD countries has been reduced over the last 30 years. Younger women today are far more likely to have completed a tertiary qualification: in 19 of the 30 OECD countries, more than twice as many women aged 25 to 34 have completed tertiary education than have women aged 55 to 64. In 21 of 27 OECD countries with comparable data, the number of women graduating from university-level programmes is equal to or exceeds that of men. While women account for more than half of university graduates in several OECD countries, they receive only 30% of tertiary degrees granted in science and engineering fields, and women account for only 25% to 35% of researchers in most OECD countries. There is a common misconception that women have still not advanced in achieving academic degrees. According to Margaret Rossiter, a of science, women now earn 54 percent of all bachelor's degrees in the United States. At the , women fill 40 percent of the degrees 31 percent of them being in engineering. Sociologist Harriet Zuckerman has observed that the more prestigious an institute is, the more difficult and time-consuming it will be for women to obtain a faculty position there. In 1989, Harvard University tenured its first woman in chemistry, Cynthia Friend, and in 1992 its first woman in physics, Melissa Franklin. She also observed that women were more likely to hold their first positions as instructors and lecturers while men are more likely to work first in tenure positions. According to Smith and Tang, as of 1989, 65 percent of men and only 40 percent of women held tenured positions and only 29 percent of all scientists and engineers employed as assistant professors in four-year colleges and universities were women. Jobs In 1992, women earned 9 percent of the PhDs awarded in , but only one percent of those women became professors. In relation, only 311 deans of engineering schools were women, which is less than 1 percent of the total. Even in , a degree in which women earn the majority of PhDs, they hold a significant amount of fewer tenured positions, roughly 19 percent in 1994. In October 2013, the global average of women in national assemblies was 22%.

One area where women have been permitted most access historically was that of and prior to the 18th century, caring for pregnant women in Europe was undertaken by women; from the mid 18th century onwards medical monitoring of pregnant women started to require rigorous formal education, to which women did not generally have access, therefore the practice was largely transferred to men.
