50 years ago there were problems. I had to chamption a female graduate student in my research group at Carnegie Tech. There were many in the department who wanted to flunk her out because she was taking time out to bear and raise two kids. I said she could come in at odd hours to do her research and eventually won the department over–she was very intelligent and hard-working. She got her Ph.D. and went on to have a distinguished career.
