You're the second person to link me to this. Interesting! I do think going to an all-girls school was an advantage; our most popular A' level (16-18 yrs) classes were physics & maths+stats, and my (male) chemistry teacher encouraged me in my interest in physical chemistry. Once I got to (male-dominated) university, though, the almost exclusively male lecturers/supervisors were largely discouraging. (I remember it was my second year before I got a single female lecturer.)

ETA: I'm from the UK, by the way.
