I know some. Just not a lot.
Red Head Gal, formerly on this website, is one. A lawyer.
I don't know that I've ever personally known a LDS female doctor. That's kind of scary.
I think one of my roles as a dad is to counteract the messages that my daughter receives through the church and other non-church sources that she shouldn't pursue a higher education or a profession.
Like I've said before. A LOT of LDS women work. They just don't work in well-paying careers.

I think you're right, notwithstanding the anecdotes here. I think this is more a problem of lack of supply than BYU's bias. It's particularly unusual for devout LDS women to go into academia (and stay devout).
