Raise more hell and fewer dahlias for women
Carolyn Barranca argues that women face persistent pay gaps and stereotypes in the workplace. She cites 1977 labor data showing women earned 59 percent of men's median salaries, with only gradual gains since 1939, and notes limited protections for women in many jobs. She urges action to remove barriers, noting quotes from William Allen White and urging stronger recognition and wages for women.
