Have you been thinking women’s pay is creeping up to men’s, but it’s just going too slowly? Have you been thinking that women with children often choose to work part-time so that’s why the average pay for all women comes down? That’s how conventional wisdom has been placating us.

Negotiating is a game you can learn to enjoy as much as the guys do.
