Contemporary Reforms

Equal rights for women is an issue that has been around for centuries. Just because we are women, does not make it right to pay us any less. In 1963 the Equal Pay Act was passed, making equal pay for men and women working at the same workplace a requirement. A woman, working the same full-time job a man does, only earns about 77% of the male's pay, not to mention the difference being ethnic makes. Clearly, it is out of the governemnt's control what women are paid, and now it is a choice to pay woman what they deserve as Americans, or keep stripping away the rights handed to them by our founding fathers.
