Here we present a few gender-disaggregated data on women physicists in universities and in public research institutions. We introduce a statistical indicator, the “men’s advantage,” which will help us estimate the glass-ceiling effect in physics as compared with other disciplines. We describe the recently established structures in favor of women scientists in France, which, hopefully, should help empower French women physicists.
