More than 1350 women physicists from more than 70 countries responded to a survey designed to identifyissues important to women in physics. Women physicists had many areas of concern, notably discrimination andcareer/family balance. However, they also had many successes in physics. The majority would choose physics again andfelt that they had progressed in their careers at least as quickly as their colleagues. Many spoke eloquently about theirlove of physics, the support they had received from others, and about their own determination and hard work.
