Women in Mining: 2004 Conference Report

I wish this were just a joke; but it is a fact.  Whenever I post anything on this blog about women in mining, two things happen:

• I get many quiet comments about being sexist; and
• The number of page views increases dramatically. 

The number of page views also increases dramatically whenever I use keywords like “pretty lady.”  The reason for this sudden spike of interest is, I suspect, the rather sordid spectacle of men who have automatic alerts to anything new on pretty ladies, women mining, and you can imagine the rest. 

So with some trepidation, I bring your attention to the 2004 report on the III International Conference on “Women and Mining.”  For obvious reasons I do not comment, but leave you to read and decide yourself.
