Today marks “Equal Pay Day.” April 12th is the date that symbolizes how far into the year women must work to earn what men earned in the previous year. It’s a depressing statistic made even more depressing by the fact that we’ve been fighting this same injustice for decades, as this PSA from 1974 starring Batgirl (Yvonne Craig) demonstrates.
But we don’t fight because it’s easy. We fight because it’s the right thing to do.
