Contemporary Feminism
The pay gap between women and men range from 13 % to 23 %. A report shows that “Higher education of women does not lead to a smaller pay gap (ask.com/wiki/Equal_pay_for_women). A women’s income is lower than that of a man for many reasons. For example: women work less, leave the labor force for long periods of time and they hold jobs that pay less (http://www.usatoday.com/money/jobcenter/2003-11-20-pay-gap_x.htm ) I don't believe this is fair because we as women are capable of doing any job that a man can do. However, I learned that in 1973, Billie King scores a victory for women atheletes when she beats Bobby Riggs. I know for a fact that many people were angry because they didn't think that a women could do this. We have already been through enough such as getting the right to vote and now we don't get the same pay as men ! This is crazy!!!
