of both women and men with the

PUT SOME RESPECT ON MY
CHECK
There’s a one-step-forward-two-steps
backwards complex than many women
are living under today. Even Queen Bey

“Women are almost half of the
workforce. They are the sole or
co-breadwinner in half of American
families with children. They receive
more college and graduate degrees than
men. Yet, on average, women continue
to earn considerably less than men,”
according to findings recently published
by the Institute for Women's Policy
Research (IWPR).
