Explanatory Synthesis Notes

My topic is about the gender wage gap. Im explaining about how a woman makes 78 cents to a mans dollar. meaning, a woman and a man can have the exact same education and be employed by the same company and work the same job, but the woman will still make a lower income than the man.  I will be discussing how it all started in the United States because of World War II. There are many reasons to why it is still going on today. there have been some actions to try to get rid of the gap but it seems to always be there.
