Quote by Sandra Day O'Connor

The more education a woman has, the wider the gap between men's and women's earnings for the same work.


The more education a woman has, the wider the gap between me

Summary

This quote highlights a paradox in gender pay equality. It suggests that as women gain higher levels of education, the disparity in earnings between men and women performing the same job actually increases. The reasoning behind this phenomenon could be attributed to various factors such as discriminatory practices, gender stereotypes, or workplace biases that devalue women's contributions despite their education. This quote underscores the need for measures to address and rectify the ongoing gender pay gap, regardless of educational attainment.

I must walk toward Oregon, and not toward Europe. And that way the nation is moving, and I may say that mankind progress from east to west. We go eastward to realize history and study the works of art and literature, retracing the steps of the race; we go westward as into the future, with a spirit of enterprise and adventure.
