In short, sexual selection for intelligence has been as strong for women as for men. It comes as no surprise therefore that there are no sex differences in intelligence. Of course, there has been a rise in intelligence over evolutionary time since we parted company with our chimpanzee cousins and that rise has accelerated in the last fifty years but men and women have risen together.
Famine, drought, predators, accidents, and illness took their toll. Mothers needed to be clever — at problem-solving, anticipating danger, avoiding toxins, forming alliances, mind reading — to get keep their children alive. Work is not new to women.

The author is at best only half-right about women in astronomy. Actually some women have played important roles in the history of the science. Good article. Gender feminist is right in the fact that we treated women bad years ago. Some female astronomers were not getting their deserved recognition. But those day a luckily long over.
