Abstract
- The article discusses the gender imbalance between male and female amateur astronomers, and looks at possible explanations for why more women do not follow astronomy. Topics include profiles of several women amateur astronomers; a chart illustrating the percentages of women seeking science degrees at various levels, or becoming faculty; and the attitude of the amateur astronomy community towards women.
