"The Wage Gap" by Christina Fisanick explores the complex realities of gender-based pay disparities through the eyes of its protagonist, a young woman navigating her career in a male-dominated industry. As she encounters obstacles and biases, she becomes increasingly aware of the systemic issues that contribute to the wage gap. To challenge the status quo, she gathers a diverse group of colleagues to advocate for change, highlighting personal stories and statistics that reveal the extent of the problem. The narrative weaves together themes of empowerment, resilience, and the importance of solidarity in the fight for equality and justice in the workplace.
