Sweden's high percentage, I'd say that this reflects nothing to women in
science in these countries. Sweden has a major problem with job
stratification, meaning that if we thought women in the US were being
'nudged' to service jobs, it's almost a non-discussion over there. We
aren't a perfect society & neither is Sweden.
I'd LOVE to hear from some members of b-wib who are from Sweden or are
in Sweden now.
