Don't Just Ask: Why Women Don't Negotiate »

When I was in business school, I learned about a case that had been run experimentally.  I may hash some of the details, but the gist is that half the classes that used it read about “John” facing a tough management problem, while the other half read about “Jane” facing the same problem.  No detail other than the names had been changed.

But what a difference a name makes!  ”John” was a strong, thoughtful leader making tough choices about what was best for his group.  ”Jane” was a headstrong bitch who was wildly overstepping her authority and generally making a mess of things.”
