Brian Weatherson has a post on The History of Semantics with this postscript:
Senior women in philosophy of language, particularly in semantics in philosophy departments, are not exactly flooding the marketplace. The contrast with what we see in linguistics is striking. Just in New England a list of the most important semanticists would have Partee, Heim, Kratzer, Jacobson and Iatridou at or near the top. I’m just making observations here, not making prescriptions, and there are sample size effects to consider, but I really don’t think the contrast reflects at all well on philosophy.
