One tidbit that might be useful is that I've seen that there are two kinds of women in aviation:
a. the kind who are actually really, really good at what they do (pilot, atc, etc); either because they feel they have to beat the boys at everything or because they want to defeat prejudice, chauvinism etc. (real or perceived) by being beyond reproach skills-wise. Sometimes this results in them developing a bit of a "thick skin" as a result of constant teasing, and therefore being a bit humourless and boring.
Those who make it into the higher echelons of aviation e.g. chief pilot, captain etc. seem to have a tougher time getting there and are thus usually excellent at what they do.
b. the kind who rely on being a "girly girl" and use their influence / feminine guiles on the rest of the (usually male) flight deck crew / ops / etc to manipulate / gain favours / excuse incompetence. Thankfully, these are fairly rare.
This is of course a grey area and the majority of our female aviation colleagues are competent yet good fun; of this I have much anecdotal evidence.
One other thing - ground ops / dispatch in the UK seems to be much more of a sausagefest than in Europe. One place I recently worked at had 4 chaps and I think 7 or 8 women in the ops dept. I think this is due to ex-military and aspiring pilot types being prevalent in the UK whereas in the EU it's more of an administrative thing, and also more of a career rather than a stepping stone.
Feel free to PM if you want me to elaborate on anything. Good luck with your project!
