Women at work: Equal and fair pay
Most people treat equal pay and fair pay as interchangeable. They are not the same thing. Equal pay describes what the law requires, which is identical wages for substantially identical work performed by a man and a woman in the same workplace.

That experience is what brought me to feminist theory, and what keeps me here.
