I don't know where you get the percentage from, but there does seem to be something in the amount of close work which has to be done. I think it was Max Weber who cited early industrialists in saying that women were much better at close work than men, though it wasn't clear why - just their nature at the time, one supposes. Does anyone have the citation? It's in one of the capitalism essays somewhere. But I do think there is a real distinction within corporate law departments today that is worth considering: those who "do deals" and those who do all of the supporting work. Percentages there probably bear out what you are suggesting. But then again, men have shown a knack for dominating priesthoods and philosophy departments, so I am uncertain how far this thing can go.

"Women make up 70% of the corporate lawyer ratio. They are much better at it than men."
