The Challenge of Being a Female Academic

There are a lot of posts around discussing the "unique" (or not-so-unique, according to some) challenges that women face in academic careers. (Anastasia also has a great tangent post that is worth checking out that doesn't really address the gender issue.)

I really want to jump into the fray and write my own post about challenges, but after two false starts, I think that I'm going to admit to myself that it's early in the morning and I can't really manage that sort of a post. At least not right now. Suffice it to say that I've got my opinions, and if I can organize them in any sort of comprehensible way I'll post about them later.
