American Journal of Physics
written by Jennifer Blue, Adrienne L. Traxler, and Geraldine L. Cochran
This Resource Letter introduces issues which influence the representation and participation of women in physics. It is intended for all physicists, regardless of subfield, who teach, advise, or work in research groups with other people. We start with reports, statistics, and literature reviews, give a theoretical framework, and address the intersection of gender with additional identities. Then, we review several factors that impact the participation of women at all levels. We continue with the literature about scientific careers and then talk about "what works" and how women can be supported as physics students and as physicists. We conclude with a call to action.
