56. Courage Campaign: Pay Inequity and Women's "Likability"
In part two of our ongoing series with Women in Science Portland's Courage Campaign, we chat with Astrid and Lilli about the gendered language surrounding women's pay. We recount personal experiences being told to be more likable in the workplace, and unpack what that means in the context of the struggle for equitable pay.
Please join the Courage Campaign for a three-part evening seminar series dedicated to empowering women to confront systemic injustices. This season's theme, 'Mind the Gap: Paving the Way for Equal Opportunities and Fair Compensation', kicks off with a talk by Zhou Fang, founder of Intersectional Group LLC. Join us Thursday, April 18 from 6:00-8:00 pm at Experiment PDX as we delve into Pay Transparency movements in the U.S., examining its impact on states like New York, Colorado, Washington, and California. Discover whether it's a fleeting trend or a future necessity for Oregon, and understand why pay transparency matters for individuals and businesses alike.
