"Hard" sciences still attract relatively few women. Teachers' Preservice ("teachers' college") applications in Ontario have for several years encouraged women to apply to teach high school physics (if you want to teach middle school or high school, you have to declare a "teachable" when you apply) because physics (more so than math) seem to have fewer girls than boys. There are also not too many women who teach the subject. Of course, they also encourage guys to apply for elementary school teaching. I'm pretty sure fewer men teach elementary school than women teach science and math.
