Bryce Covert has a really interesting piece on The Atlantic online about the so-called "ambition gap" in the workplace, the excuse so often trotted out to explain away the nagging gender wage gap: "When researchers have studied the ambition gap," she writes, "they've discovered something peculiar: It's not there. Women do ask for more. They just aren't rewarded for it."
