World-renowned gender issues expert confronts the gender pay gap and presents 25 ways for women to increase their earnings.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor, women earn a mere 80 cents for every dollar men earn. Why, forty years after the Federal Equal Pay Act, do women still get paid less than the guys on the job? Why hasn’t the force of the feminist movement, affirmative action, and corporate lawsuits put an end to this injustice?
In the March eBook of the Month, world-renowned gender issues expert Warren Farrell, Ph.D. argues that bias-based unequal pay for women is largely a myth, and that women are most often paid less than men not because they are discriminated against, but because they have made lifestyle choices that affect their ability to earn. Beyond urging women to stop seeing themselves as victims of discrimination, Why Men Earn More presents 25 concrete, measurable ways for any woman to increase her pay.
