"Women in academia" and "Examples of success" sections
The sentence in the “women in Academia” sections that says, “While hiring of women in academic fields has been on a slight rise...” assumes a certain time period. Since the cited article was published in 1986, I would suggest clarifying the time period that women in academic fields has been on slight rise, or finding a more recent resource. Also, the sentence “people today don't understand the reasoning behind the fact that men generally get the top positions in the business world,” might be problematic for the encyclopedia format. Depending on when and where you are reading article, “people today” has many interpretations. I think the section would be fine if it just delved in the Pew Research Center study and the introductory sentence were deleted altogether. The final sentence in the “examples of success” section discusses “sexism norms that are still rooted in our society today”; perhaps better wording would be “gender norms that have perpetuated into the 20th century.” Thoughts?

Bias
This article is not noteworthy. Why does it exist? It shows bias with emotional wording and imaginary bald assertions:-- "In the workplace, both in the public and private sector, the opportunities available to women are trumped by a glass ceiling" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:8015:AE60:2C28:709A:7BAE:AC82 (talk) 19:51, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
