Mary Ann Mason, a professor of law at the University of California at Berkeley, has found that women with children are less likely to get tenure than men. In the sciences, mothers are 27 percent less likely to receive tenure, and Mason’s 2002 study found that women who have babies within five years of receiving their Ph.D. in the humanities or social sciences are 20 percent less likely than men in a similar situation to receive tenure.
