Having served as an economist, politician, public official, and corporate officer, she has a 360-degree view of the problem - and of the solution. And she explains why, even though women have more opportunities than their mothers did, the wage gap persists: The American workplace still harbors an astonishing amount of discrimination, including blatant as well as complex hidden barriers, unspoken assumptions, unexamined attitudes, and habitual ways of behaving.īut Murphy also brings good news: The wage gap can be closed. She shows how the wage gap pinches the daily lives of families throughout the country, at every economic level and in every industry. In this intelligently argued and startling book, Evelyn Murphy, Ph.D., humanizes the numbers through real-life stories and a wealth of data that has never before been examined. And it explains how to close the wage gap - and, finally, get women even. It reveals that the wage gap is not going away on its own. Getting Even exposes the discrepancy between what women and men make - and how it affects us all.

The wage gap is a steady drain on the daily lives of women and our families.
