Hehe, that's all kinds of awesome! I went into a rant at the office the other day. Out of the 114 authors I'm currently responsible for, I think only 5 are female, two chemists, one mathematician, one historian and one physicist. Not that there aren't women involved in the projects, usually the lead author's wife who they treat like a secretary and I really wanted to send a hate email to this one guy who said his wife was just better organised -- no, it is because you're a lazy person!
/ end rant!
I think I'll be done with "Mystery" say, Tuesday? I'm out most of the weekend as it's my birthday on Sunday, so I'm being treated on Saturday to tea at Harrods and *cough* to balance out that refinery the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie. I hope this is okay! Sorry for being so slow.
You aren't slow, you're patient. 114 authors, plus me. I don't envy you. And 5 out of 114 sounds like a decent proportion as compared to what you find in many maths departments (although the times, they are a' changing).
Enjoy your birthday celebrations! I'll be contributing by arriving in your lovely, sun-drenched country on your birthday.
