Revealed: females make up less than 10 per cent of top 100's equity partner ranks

Given the average age of equity partners and the rigid (and long) locksteps most firms employ, it is hardly surprising that a high female intake hasn't filtered through yet. It simply reflects recruitment figures from the 70s. Rather than providing one-off 'shock value' figures it may be more helpful to gve a breakdown of how female/male ratios change with PQE and whether there is an upward trend in female partner appointments (which may let us forecast future equity figures).
