The inaugural WCC Reading Group (aka “WCC Book Club”) met on April 22 to discuss Women Don't Ask: Negotiation and the Gender Divide. The attendees all agreed the book was worth reading and recommended it. Some of the takeaways and surprises from the book:

• Women often waited to be recognized

• It’s important to separate a personal relationship from an interaction where one is asking for something

• Car salesmen quote higher prices to women and minorities, often because they don’t think these groups will have other options 

• Publishing salaries could help combat inequitable pay
