Women are underrepresented in high-stress, high-responsibility, sole-performer fields of medicine and biology, and over-represented in "safe", "work-with-people-and-children" areas such as child development and nursing.

The book "Why men earn more" shows lots of data and explains why this happens.

Sounds like what I am doing. Mine is a high-risk, high-responsibility, sole-performer approach to research in mathematics :-)

Thank for your reference: I will have a look at this book.

But your statement is not quite correct: there many women in microbiology - http://www.browndailyherald.com/2016/03/16/women-in-science-tend-to-gravitate-toward-biology-cognitive-sciences/ . Maybe there is some underrepresentation, but it is not large.
