She is Carrie Lukas.
I disagree with "her" take.
She misses the main point of contention, women want equal pay for equal work.
Many are single mothers & they are the breadwinners. clo

In Part:

Should we celebrate the closing of the wage gap? Certainly it's good news that women are increasingly productive workers, but women whose husbands and sons are out of work or under-employed are likely to have a different perspective. After all, many American women wish they could work less, and that they weren't the primary earners for their families.

The best article I ever found on this topic was by one of the managers at . . . I think it was Cosmopolitan. It's been deleted from AB, unfortunately, as part of the great purge.

She did a great job of describing the many ways in which women today are overpaid compared to men, and the extreme political pressure to NOT report that. She stated bluntly that, had she been a man, her editorial could never have been written.

I'm sure clo remembers the article. We discussed it, and I don't believe she was able to find fault with the points it made
