Despite the progress made towards a fairer workplace, in the discussion about the lack of women on boards or the size of the gap between men and women's pay, tired excuses are recycled. Catherine Fox labels these the seven myths about women and work. They include the lack of ambition myth (women don't want the top jobs), the motherhood myth (it's those kids and broken careers that stop women), the gender pay gap myth (it's vastly exaggerated), and the bitch myth (women are their own worst enemies).
