Show Us the Money
Did you know that whether you ask for a raise early in your career can determine the amount of money you make later in life? Linda Babcock, a researcher at Carnegie Mellon University, and her colleagues have studied gender differences when it comes to asking for raises, and negotiating for more money and responsibility. Her findings show that women do lag behind, and often it’s because they have not asked for raises as often as men. But when they do ask, women are viewed as not as “nice.” Read the Washington Post article about the study here. Do you think that women hold back too often when asking for raises? Do you think that men are more confident than women when it comes to requesting more remuneration?

I love your new slogan, Add Women, Change EVERYTHING!!!
Today, I heard from my HighSchool Alma Mater in Wilmette Illinois. It is a Women’s Only High School. When we updated my information, I was proud to include as an accomplishment and education, Graduate of The White House Project, Political Leadership Training, Class of 2006, Boulder Colorado. I just thought of this, I should have had them write, The White House Project, Women’s Political Leadership Training.
To get on topic, the article about wages is a good one to remember. I just started a job in PR as the Community Relations Director for the Days Hotel in Boulder. They started me with a very generous salary.
Best Regards, Ladies. Wish I could go to New York. Corinne Rogan
