Though I am a social idealist, I am also a realist and can accept that the work reformations required to improve conditions for workers and attain environmental sustainability…

The 2016 election is no doubt one that will go down in history. Although the two candidates had differing opinions about almost everything, there was one issue they both agreed on: paid maternity leave.

Her experiments in Florida, Maine, and Minnesota demonstrate how women’s work is continually devalued in our society through lack of available positions, as well as underpaying for jobs that are specifically targeted towards women.
