Women still lag behind men in pay, report says
CBS
March is Women's History Month, and now, a new report by the White House says that while women have made tremendous gains in the past 50 years, they still lag behind men when the paychecks are issued.
The White House report -- the first in 50 years -- that looks at the status of women in America. It shows areas where women have made tremendous gains over the years and areas where they have not.
According to the report, young women are now more likely than young men to have a college degree. But whatever their level of education, women earn about 75 cents for every dollar a man earns.
On "The Early Show," Lucy Danziger, editor-in-chief of Self magazine, and Ronna Lichtenberg, a business and career consultant and author of "Pitch Like a Girl: How a Woman Can Be Herself and Still Succeed," for a closer look at the "Women in America" report.

Author of I'm Tired! Carry Your Own S#!T (Oops, I Mean Bags) and Inspirational Speaker Tanya Young Williams offers a Unique Daily Dose of Inspiration to Coincide with March Women's History Month
Tanya Young Williams, estranged wife to former NBA All-Star and recently incarcerated Jayson Williams, continues her endeavor to inspire and empower women by creating a unique support initiative called TRY Women's Inspiration Number (W.I.N.). W.I.N. is a call-in number wherein, callers will hear a powerful word of inspiration from Tanya Young Williams. The daily inspirational message, ranging from 30 seconds to two minutes is available at (443) TRY-WIN0.
TRY W.I.N. is an unique, inexpensive, if not free, worldwide platform geared to give the caller control over when and how often they choose to be engaged with the inspirational and empowering messages from Tanya Young Williams. TRY W.I.N. aims at empowering the caller by giving them control over their therapeutic plan if for only a couple minutes a day. "Sometimes we just need to hear someone who has been through hell, tell us that despite what we are going through, we can make it another day. The sun will come out tomorrow," Young Williams states. TRY W.I.N. provides a much needed service, for women particularly, who are in need of encouragement and support in a non-intrusive, confidential forum.
March has been established as Women's History Month by the United States government to pay tribute to the remarkable contributions women have made to the United States of America and the world. March 8th is International Women's Day, which has been internationally recognized as early as 1910. It is a global day celebrating the economic, political and social achievements of women past, present and future. "It is vitally important that we, as a country and as a world body understand, respect and appreciate the contributions that amazing women have made throughout time. March should not be a month merely to inform, but it should be a month to empower women based upon our history as trailblazers, pioneers, visionaries and risk-takers" says Tanya. W.I.N. will launch on March 8, 2011 to celebrate International Women's Day.
TRY W.I.N.'s purely altruistic business model is geared toward inspiring women, but it is a support tool available for everyone with access to a telephone. After the inspirational message, callers are invited to blog and share their experiences at www.TanyaYoungWilliams.com. Young Williams says, "I have lived a very public, traumatic and dramatic life, however, I choose to focus on the potential of my future and not the pain of my past. It is my life's purpose to inspire others to do the same."
