(MOVING TO FRONT FROM JULY 22–SOME CORRECTIONS TO THE ADDENDUM)

…with some variation depending on the caliber of the program:  top analytically-oriented departments saw significant increases (18% of tenure-stream faculty were female in 2004, now 26% are), but still do not have as high a percentage of female faculty as programs in the SPEP universe of nominally "Continental"-oriented departments.   Since the "analytic" departments identify more closely with math and the natural sciences, it's not wholly surprising that female representation is more like what we find in those latter fields; by contrast, the SPEP departments tend to be more closely allied with humanities fields like English, which have higher proportions of female representation in the faculty ranks.  Given current hiring trends, and the pattern of recent retirements (overwhelmingly men), I expect female representation in tenure-stream philosophy positions will continue to increase.

ADDENDUM:  Regarding recent retirements (i.e., since the 2017 PGR),there were 37 retirements, phased retirements, or announced impending retirements, of which 7 were women, and 30 men.  The full list is below the fold:
