Abstract
The reasons for gifted women's failure to realize their full potential are both external and internal. The external causes center around sexism, discrimination and lack of resources. Internal causes may be fear of success, the “Imposter” phenomenon, the “Cinderella Complex” or simply a tendency to adjust too easily and congenially to society's lower expectations for women. Parts of this article are excerpted from Smart Girls, Gifted Women by Barbara Kerr, Ohio Psychological Press, Columbus, OH 43210.
