Not only do women not contribute as much as men to the humanities, arts and sciences, they do not contribute commensurate with their talents and potential. It is assumed that women's lesser contribution through their careers is related to their motivation. Several factors related to inhibited career and achievement motivation in women are examined, based on evidence in the research literature. A related study in progress is describede Ahumanistic goal for both sexes is proposed, based on sex free roles.
