Small Progress
IN 1981, when Dolly Parton and Jane Fonda starred in the zany feminist revenge movie "9 to 5," working women in America earned about 59 cents for every dollar earned by men. Now the ratio is 77 cents.

Anger Doesn’t Pay—at Least for Women
There's nothing worse than being an angry woman in the workplace. Even if a colleague blows an important client relationship by not showing up for a sales call and losing the account in the process. Nope, she can't get angry. Not if she wants to get hired. Not if she wants to get paid. Not if she wants some status in her firm.A man can blow his top, stomp his feet, and shout, and what'll it get him? A raise. Respect. Status. What it'll get a woman?$14,000 less a year.That's the conclusion of research that will be presented today at the Academy of Management conference in Philadelphia at the Convention Center.
