  This paper reviews the status of women in science, physics in particular, in
Cyprus. We describe the development of physics in the country, focusing on the
contributions and participation of women. We present statistical data for the
last several years, reviewing the percentage of women who are pursuing physics
as a subject of study or as a profession. We report the gender ratios at
different career stages and find that while women are well represented in
undergraduate studies, female physicists are underrepresented in senior
positions. We discuss factors that might affect the career evolution of women
in physics in Cyprus.
