“In the broader business world, studies show that women encounter the worst discrimination around motherhood. One Stanford study gave participants two CVs for a management consultant. Both were for women and both were identical, except one listed membership in a Parent Teacher Association. Rated by participants, the woman with the child was 79 per cent less likely to be hired, 100 per cent less likely to be promoted and offered $11,000 less in salary. Another study found that highly motivated women were perceived by managers to be so committed to work that they must be bad mothers, and that led to lower salary increases and fewer promotions.”
