When it comes to the relationship between gender and work especially in the topic of wage gap I had very basic knowledge about it, but after this weeks readings I got a better and much deeper understanding. It constantly blows my mind how us women still don’t have equal pay rights, when we work just as hard as men and most times even more. Something I learned is that pay gap has much more to do with than just gender but also includes race, ethnicity, and disability, as stated in the reading from AAUW, “The Simple Truth about the Gender Pay Gap”As a result different groups of women experience very different gaps in pay”. There are groups of women who earn more or less than the other. This is an on going issue that needs to be fixed! I believe that us women go through so much already and we still can’t be equal.

Yes, Ashley, great point about intersectionality + that the wage gap reflects more than gender differences– but also, race, ability, immigration status and so on.
