Thanks, Peggy. I agree with others that this is good news. But I hope there will be a follow-up study of this cohort when they come up for tenure and promotion. That will be an important gauge of the climate for women in the profession.

CSW Jobs for Philosophers Employment Study<https://www.dropbox.com/s/6z71m4be2imln29/CSWNewsletterJFPEmploymentStudy.pdf> Miriam Solomon and John Clark, 2009 This is a report of faculty hires following Jobs for Philosophers (JFP) Volume 175 and 176 (October and November 2007). One of the key conclusions is: Women were hired in all categories in proportion to their percentage of PhD's (this includes temporary positions and postdocs, tenure-track positions, and positions in Leiter-ranked departments).
