Abstract

This paper is devoted to the conditions for the professional development of women engineers in Russia. We have conducted a quantitative and a qualitative in-depth interview research of women engineers in Moscow and other Russian cities. Women's high interest in higher education in Engineering remains unchanged since the Soviet period. At the same time, in terms of administrative position, most women have been rank-and-file engineers and work on a part-time basis. The research showed the difficulties of combining engineer careers with motherhood, workplace environmental barriers and gender stereotypes that hinder professional development of women.
