Note 1 in page 1128 Compiled by the Modern Language Association Commission on the Status of Women in the Profession (New York: MLA, 1973).

Note 2 in page 1128 For purposes of this commentary, only the degrees awarded by depts. of Slavic languages and literatures have been considered (326 men and 130 women for a total of 456 doctorates). It should be remembered, however, that at least 300 more doctorates (222 men and 78 women) were granted by departments such as English, linguistics, art, drama, and comparative literature in peripheral, comparative, and non-Slavic topics. For details see my “American and Canadian Doctoral Dissertations in Slavic and East European Languages and Literatures, 1961–72,” Slavic and East European Journal, 17 (1973), 184–216.

Note 4 in page 1128 For the 12-year period 1961–72, 102 of 128 Ph.D.'s awarded to women in Slavic were in literature (78%), as opposed to 208 of 326 for the men (64%).

Note 5 in page 1128 These figures were based on the inclusion of women scholars in the Sept. 1973 Directory issue of PMLA, the AAASS Directory of Members, 1971–1973, and the AATSEEL Directory of Members, March 1973.
