Summary

Physics is not the topic, but the status, role, and potential of women in the field. The conference was organized by a working group established within the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics in 1999 to investigate why so few women are in physics and what can be done about the disparity. Summaries are provided for six discussions on such topics as attracting girls into physics, improving the institutional structure and climate, and balancing family and career. Then, after opening remarks, an international survey report, and plenary papers, conditions are reported in 65 countries. There is no subject index.
