ABSTRACT
The fight for equal pay, i.e. “the rate for the job without regard to sex” lacks the glamour of the battles waged in the United States by the feminists earlier in the century which finally won women the vote. No “equal pay” parade has yet taken place. No newspaper has reported a single brick thrown through a window, nor the name of one woman worker willingly dragged off for a night in prison to dramatize the economic injustice to women.
