In a recent issue of Canadian HR Reporter (March 8, 2010 issue), I read that women MBAs still have a long way to go to reach parity with men, in terms of compensation and advancement. That intrigued me as I thought (hoped) that in our western society, we have reached a point where men and woman are on equal footing. On one hand, women MBAs lag behind men MBAs; on the other, women are breaking through the technology, science, and engineering sectors’ glass ceiling.
