Eminent women in Canada (n = 827) and Finland (n = 280) were surveyed regarding their experience of gender bias in academic, work and general contexts. The respondents from Finland, noted for its pioneering role in the advancement of women’s rights, reported a lower level of gender bias experience (16.4%) overall, than the Canadians (36.1%). In both countries, reported experience of sexism and sex stereotyping in academic settings was approximately half that within work and general contexts.
