Really? If that's the case, I've never come across it. And I've never felt dejected at rejection letters -- it's just a process. A cycle.

Perhaps the very perception among women that they have less chance at garnering publication than men causes them to not persist for quite as long?

It seems to me, though, that we have many highly accomplished female members in our ranks here at Eratosphere alone. Did those women (and you are one of them, Mary!) need to persist harder and for longer than most men?
