Women in cell biology: getting to the top.
Those who write about women scientists tend to treat us as a group, documenting our demise at each career stage and discussing measures to prevent this. By contrast, my approach has been to focus on individual women who have 'made it' in science and to ask how their careers have been affected by their sex. Some positive conclusions emerge, but the overall picture is disheartening.
