Cindy Smith was an exceptional investigative reporter. She worked for the Daily Globe an up and coming newspaper outlet. She was one of the few women in her office but she held her own in a male dominated field

She sat at her desk for hours pouring over her work. Making sure that the articles she was writing were written to perfection
फिसलना: 4
That's a good question!
Sir what are your next steps as mayor of this city?
फिसलना: 6
She was always punctual. Most days coming into the office before everyone else. Already well into her work by the time her other coworkers came in
फिसलना: 7
Absolutely not!
Sir I am a brilliant journalist. this newspaper establishment has done so well with me here. And I work just as hard as all my other male coworkers. Please raise my pay so it is equal to what everyone else is getting paid
फिसलना: 8
Always at the front of every press conference. Asking hard hitting questions, earning the respect of many of the politicians in any room.
If only there was someone out there who could understand what I was going through and how I am feeling as a women...
फिसलना: 9
At the daily globe she was the only women at the office. However, she was well respected and applauded for her talent as a journalist
Good afternoon class my name is Esther Peterson! I will be your 5th grade teacher!
फिसलना: 10
However, she didn't feel that she was on equal footing with any of her male colleagues. She was making significantly less than them despite doing the same amount of work.They were on higher simply because they were men and she was below them looking up at them simply because she was a women.
Esther was beloved by all her students. She was by far the most popular teacher at her school.
I love Ms. Peterson! She is the best teacher. I learn so much from her
फिसलना: 11
So she went to her boss and asked him to raise her pay so it is equal to her male colleagues. But her making this request angered him and he said no
Similar to Cindy Smith's story, Esther was also amazing at her job. She was one of the teachers who was commended for raising students test scores.However, as she was talking to one of her fellow teachers about pay she realized how much less she was getting paid for doing the same job of her fellow male teacher
That's so much more than me?!
I make $6,000 a year and $115 a week
How much do you make?

Esther was heartbroken that she was being treated this way at a school she poured her heart and soul into. Why did they not pay her equally to her male counterparts
I need to go to the superintendent tomorrow and ask him to raise my pay
फिसलना: 13
...Meanwhile a couple decades before Cindy a young teacher Esther Peterson was expeirencing the same discrimination she was
She went that day into the superintendents office. However, his reasoning for her getting payed less was saying that women did not work as hard as men and thus dont deserve to get paid equally
Sir I am one of your best teachers. I outperform most of your other teachers. I put in the same amount of work as the male teacher. I wish to get paid equally to them
You are a women. Women are not as hardworking as men.So no you will not get the same salary as them
फिसलना: 14
Im going to write a letter to the National Organization of Women. Maybe I will find like minded people there
फिसलना: 15
Women SHOULD be given the same rights as men an don't discriminated against in the workplace
फिसलना: 16
Oh my goodness....
They wouldn't pay me the same amount as they paid the men
That happened to me too!
फिसलना: 17
She began to climb the ranks. Her work advocating for women's equal pay and treatment in the workplace led her to be appointed by JFK to be the director of the US women's bureau. Later she was appointed by him as assistant secretary of Labor for labor standards making her the highest ranking women in his administration. She worked to inform him on women's issues
I would like you to work for me. You can make a real difference here working for the government
Mr. President, I would be honored
फिसलना: 18
Esther was feeling angry and sad. She was feeling these emotions because she felt that she was not given the same respect as her male teachers. So she decided to write a letter detailing her frustration
WE WANT EQUAL PAY NOW CONGRESS!
Equal Pay Now!
फिसलना: 19
She began going to debates and informing others on her personal experiences and explaining why women should not be discriminated against simply because of their sex
This bill which I will sign into effect will give women equal pay!
फिसलना: 20
As she supported the National Organization for women, she learned how many women had similar stories to her. This stirred her to act
Women all across the country rejoiced when they heard the news...
This is incredible
Oh my goodness! Did you hear?? The equal pay act was passed!
फिसलना: 21
Cindy Smith was walking on her way to work when a headline in the newspaper caught her eye. She couldn't believe it.
My goodness! I can't believe this historic day has come!
फिसलना: 22
As Assistant Secretary of Labor for Labor standards she worked she lobbied members of congress and mobilized the public to support the Equal Pay Act of 1963 which would give women equal pay as men for doing the same work.
Now she finally felt that she was on equal footing with her male journalists
फिसलना: 23
In 1963, The Equal Pay Act was passed as a bill. This bill required that men and women get paid the same for doing equal work in the workplace.
Without a women in politics who understood how Cindy and so many other women felt about getting paid less than a man for doing the same work,there would have been no progress
Thank you
