This picture shows the inequality of men and women on a payment scale.

In 1923 the Supreme Court concluded that the minimum wage laws for women and children made in 1918 in District of Columbia were unconstitutional, and they cut them. Along with this the Supreme Court voted that women were now considered equal to men and had equal protection as of 1923. The ruling of the Supreme Court in 1923 cut minimum wage laws, which had restricted women and children from negotiating contracts, but women were still paid less then men in general, and black women even less then white. Although this was going on, women slowly were and are getting paid more and more. |
