Wasn't there a book "Lifting a Ton of Feathers" on this, years ago?

I haven't read it, but it seemed to be on this.
Also, Pinker's "The Sexual Paradox" says, iirc, that many women in academia quit when they finally stop living the lives that the men in their lives push them to be living, instead wanting to live the lives they themselves want to be living...
