This document discusses why women are less likely to negotiate salaries and terms than men. It notes that only 7% of women negotiate their starting salary compared to 57% of men. As a result, women earn 77 cents for every dollar a man earns. The document suggests that women's reluctance to negotiate stems from wanting to avoid conflict and not wanting to damage relationships. It encourages women to view negotiation not as conflict but as constructive asking, and outlines the negotiation process of interests, positions, agreements, and alternatives. The goal is to help women feel more comfortable negotiating to close the gender pay gap.
