Steinpreis, Anders & Ritzke (1999) Sex Roles, 41, 509 “Blind” auditions increased the percentage of women winning orchestral jobs by %. Goldin & Rouse, (2000) The American Economic Review, 90, 4,

Assumptions and Bias Recommendation letters for women hired as faculty at a large US medical school differed systematically from those for men. Trix & Psenka (2003) Discourse & Society, Vol. 14(2): , 2003 Trix & Psenka (2003) Discourse & Society, Vol. 14(2): , 2003
