Quotes that support the claim

"The AAUW study, called "Graduating to a Pay Gap," goes on to explain that a possible explanation for this 7 percent is a "difference in willingness and ability to negotiate salary." Only some of the 7 percent gap actually can be attributed to any real gender discrimination, even according to the study itself."
