Women in the Humanities: Sobering statistics and inspirational role models

In the year of the humanities, this brochure presents portraits of ten women who do research in different disciplines and in different walks of life, and who may serve as inspiration for younger researchers and students, which is why the portraits have been written by junior scientists. In the introduction, we reflect upon gender in the humanities, both pertaining to the presence of men and women and to the category of gender in knowledge. In a presentation of the brochure, junior researchers will be invited to meet with senior scientists for mentoring purposes.
