Biography

Gilbert was born in Brooklyn, New York. She completed her undergraduate degree in chemistry at Wells College, and her Master of Science degree in chemistry at Yale University. She continued her education at the University of Texas at Austin, where she obtain a PhD in Educational Psychology in 1974 under the supervision of Janet Taylor Spence.^[7] She was a member of the faculty at Iowa State University (1973-1975), The University of Texas at Austin (1975-2006), and Santa Clara University (2006-2017). At UT Austin, Gilbert was appointed the Frank C. Erwin, Jr. Centennial Honors Professor in Educational Psychology and served as the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Studies. Gilbert joined the faculty of Santa Clara University in 2006, where she served as the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs from 2006 to 2010.^[8]

Research

Gilbert's seminal work has focused on men and women in two-career families, i.e., where both parents have paid employment, and the impact of both parents being employed on parenting, household work, and career paths. Her research has examined personal factors, such as interests and abilities, relationship factors, such as power-dynamics and partner support, and societal factors, such as workplace policies, the availability of child care, mentorship and other forms of support, as influences on men and women's occupational and family roles.^[9]

Gilbert has authored several books on dual career families and related topics. She published the first and only empirically based book to date on men in dual-career families, Men in Dual-career Families: Current Realities and Future Prospects (1985).^[10] Later books include Sharing it All: The Rewards and Struggles of Two-Career Families (1988),^[11] Two Careers, One Family: The Promise of Gender Equality (1993),^[12] and Gender and Sex in Counseling and Psychotherapy (with Murray Scher).^{[13] [14]}

In recent years, Gilbert has collaborated with her husband, John C. Gilbert, on research focusing on the careers of women working in the traditionally male-dominated field of winemaking, and their progress.^{[15] [16] [17]} Their research documented that 9.8% of California wineries have a lead woman winemaker, and that proportional to their representation in the field, wineries whose lead winemakers are women are more highly acclaimed – an indicator that women were able to succeed in this male-dominated field.^{[18] [19]}

They also developed an extensive educational website that provides biographical profiles of women winemakers in California and other important wine regions of the world.^[20] The Women Winemakers of California and Beyond website is being archived by the Department of Archives and Special Collections at the UC Davis Library for its Viticulture and Enology Collection.
