确定成功女性的学士学位起源似乎是一项相对简单的任务。事实并非如此。出现困难是因为许多标准资料来源不充分或不完整，因为成就的定义不仅可以解释，而且受现有资源的限制，还因为以任何标准衡量有成就的妇女人数都很少，如果只选择那些有成就的大学毕业生，人数就更少了。如果根据获得学士学位的院校类型来比较成绩优异的毕业生，这又减少了每一组中妇女的人数。对成就者或机构的进一步细分可能会产生这样的小群体，结果的可靠性及其解释可能会受到影响。然而，研究人员仍然试图描绘影响女大学毕业生后来成就的参数，或者区分女毕业生相对于她们的学士学位来源所取得的成就。下面的报告回顾了我们所了解到的关于女性成就者的学士学位起源的情况，并强调了这类研究中固有的模糊性和解释数据的困难。
Identifying the baccalaureate origins of achieving women might seem a relatively straightforward task. It is not. Difficulties arise because many standard information sources are inadequate or incomplete, because the definition of achievement not only is open to interpretation but also is limited by the resources available, and because the number of achieving women by any measure is small and rendered smaller when only those achievers who have graduated from college are selected. If achieving graduates are then to be compared on the basis of the type of institution from which they received the baccalaureate degree, this again reduces the number of women in each group. Further subdivisions of sets of achievers or institutions may yield such small groups of subjects that reliability of findings and their interpretations may suffer. Yet researchers still try to delineate the parameters that influence subsequent achievement of women college graduates, or that distinguish among the kinds of accomplishment attained by women graduates relative to their baccalaureate origins. The following report reviews what we have learned about the baccalaureate origins of women achievers and highlights ambiguities inherent in this kind of research and the difficulties of interpreting the data.
