Women Don't Ask

In December, we met at Lisa's house to discuss  Women Don't Ask: The High Cost of Avoiding Negotiation--and Positive Strategies for Change by Linda Babcock and Sara Laschever.

This book made me angry, sad, and also fired up!  It covers all sorts of ways in which women have been conditioned not to ask for things--not just with salaries, but in all parts of life.

Unfortunately for me I left my copy on the plane so haven't finished it yet, but it's a very good read.

Lisa put a on a great spread of food to go with the book including fantastic potato leek soup.
