Abstract
It is timely that as this report goes to press, molecular biologist Professor Elizabeth Blackburn has been confirmed as the first Australian woman Nobel laureate (6 October 2009). That such individual achievement is possible when the progress of the majority of Australian women hoping to make careers in science, engineering or technology related fields has stalled is cause for cautious optimism. This report, looking at the place and progress of women in science in Australia, presents a sobering account. (From Executive Summary)
