Another overcorrection: Controlling for publications, in the past, women were less likely than men to be selected as members of National Academy of Science. Now women are 3-15 times more likely than to be selected than men.

Important: the paper is not peer reviewed, keep that in mind when using the findings as evidence.

Abstract of the abstract:

[...] National Academy of Science (NAS) and the American Academy of Arts and Science (AAAS)

[...] three fields – Psychology, Mathematics and Economics...

[...] develop a series of models to compare changes in the probability of selection of women as members of the NAS and AAAS from the 1960s to today, controlling for publications and citations

[...] In the early years of our sample, women were less likely to be selected as members than men with similar records. By the 1990s, the selection process at both academies was approximately gender-neutral, conditional on publications and citations. In the past 20 years, however, a positive preference for female members has emerged and strengthened in all three fields. Currently, women are 3-15 times more likely to be selected as members of the AAAS and NAS than men with similar publication and citation records.
