When will corporate women rise higher?

A 50-something reader who found she couldn’t ‘have it all’ asks Fortune’s Anne Fisher if her daughter can expect better career rewards. In her October 1 Ask Annie column, Fisher explains whether to offer the next generation a reality check, or to keep quiet. Has your career turned out the way you hoped, so far?

Why women get paid less

Women’s unwillingness to “rock the boat” and ask for a raise is a big reason why the wage gap between college-educated women and their male counterparts has actually gotten bigger since the mid-’90s, writes Fortune’s Anne Fisher in her March 20 Ask Annie column. Do you think women shy away from asking for more money, or do you think discrimination is the real problem? What tips do you have on asking for - and getting - a raise?
