AbstractThis paper draws on the results of a research project conducted during 1998-99, which aimed to provide a detailed picture of the experiences of women employed in philosophy departments in English-speaking universities. Using a questionnaire and a series of interviews, women provided information and narratives about their research interests, their career development and their experiences as a minority in what remains a male-dominated field. The questionnaire was intended to collect both quantitative and qualitative information, the former mostly demographic.
