Zusammenfassung:The underrepresentation of women in physics and related fields in the U.S. remains significant despite an increase in doctoral degrees earned over the past 10 years. An even greater disparity is seen among minority women. Increasing recognition of the contributions of women to discovery and education in physics and related fields has led to government initiatives and other programs to promote broader inclusion, balance, and gender equity. These actions for advocating women in physics in the U.S. since the first IUPAP Women in Physics Conference in 2002 are presented.
