...women who continue to work leave engineering at a higher than expected rate. About 21% of all graduates surveyed were working in a field unrelated to their highest college degree. That proportion held steady for both men and women. Yet in engineering, there was a gap: about 10% of male engineers were working in an unrelated field, while some 13% of female engineers were. Women who became engineers disproportionately left for other sectors...
...feel so stifled when it comes to pay and promotion. Hunt ran a slew of statistical tests to see if she could detect any patterns. She did. Women also left fields such as financial management and economics at higher than expected rates. The commonality? Like engineering, those sectors are male-dominated. Some 74% of financial-management degree holders in the survey sample were male. Men made up 73% of economics graduates. And to take one example from engineering, some 83% of mechanical-engineer grads were male. (Hunt's own economics professorship nicely illustrates that trends are hardly rules - although...
...exactly, being in a majority-male environment leads women to leave for reasons related to pay and promotion is unclear. It is easy to assume discrimination or simply the prizing of stereotypically male behavior - like speaking out in meetings rather than building consensus behind the scenes.

They also took part in the Moscow theater siege of 2002 that claimed more than 100 lives. Their motivation, investigators say, is often revenge for the deaths of male relatives at the hands of Russian security forces. Giorgberidze, who renounces terrorist attacks against civilians as unjustifiable, said the pain these women have suffered over the years nevertheless gives them reason to resist the Russian state through violence.
