About this episode

The gender pay gap is real –– but reducing it down to simply “not paying women enough” ignores the broader picture. Today, Tori is joined by Linda Babcock, a professor of economics at Carnegie Mellon and author of “Women Don’t Ask” and “Ask for It” to talk about the deeper reasons why women are paid less than men, and how we can better advocate for ourselves and other women in our lives through small changes in how we approach our work and discussions around our compensation.
