Although there were few women in management doctoral programs or on the faculty in business schools when I started out, this thankfully has changed a great deal. I have always tried to do my best work and not be intimidated by a lack of women in an area of interest. Fortunately, I have been able to find supportive colleagues and sometimes mentors who have given me good advice and encouragement. This is certainly true of my colleagues in the Management and Organization Department at Maryland. Seeking supportive colleagues can be a helpful strategy.
