Apparently, only 25% of blog readers are women (or at least not men). I'm guessing, though, that even that other 75% might be interested to learn that the "fact" that women earn less than men for the same work is a myth. Women are simply less willing to trade quality of life for money, so they work fewer hours, look for jobs that give them more vacation days, etc. When women work the same hours in jobs that require the same level of sacrifice as men, they usually make significantly more than men. How bout them apples? To read more, see this article about a new book called Why Men Earn More.
