Why Women Earn Less
How to Make What You're Really Worth
Career Press, 2004
¿De qué se trata?
The demons of women’s wages are traits that create “underearners”: poor self-esteem, self-sabotage, misplaced kindness.
Recommendation
Do you feel as if your career is stuck under a rock and your salary is buried six feet under? You’re not alone. Many women suffer from the grateful-to-have-a-job syndrome and earn far less than they need or want. With a mix of colorful commentary and hard facts, Mikelann R. Valterra presents a thoughtful discussion about the gender gap in wages. While avoiding clichés or easy explanations, she analyzes the remuneration problems women face and provides practical solutions. The book is a bit flawed by repetition. Key statistics, for example, are frequently recycled. But the author addresses crucial issues that have been hidden. getAbstract sees this as essential fiscal homework for female execs, the pink-collar office pool and the self-employed.
