“”””During their lives, they were paid half as much as men for doing the same work. “””””
They must be very old because that was outlawed almost 60 years ago, June 1963.
If it were legal no one would hire a man, they would just save 50% on labor costs.
I’m 86, and it may have “gone out” that long ago, but that’s what we were paid. Perhaps had a job title change yo stroke our egos. As if.
Luckily, I got good jobs as a writer, and married well.
