Abstract: 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. Approximately one of five women in both countries reported that being female was a facilitator in job advancement.
