Opinion: This Equal Pay Day, let's smash the maternal wall

Tuesday is Equal Pay Day. Much as it sounds like a day to celebrate, it's a day to agitate. After all, it's the day in 2022 until which women have to work -- on average across all races and ethnicities -- in order to earn what men were paid in 2021. Yes, you read that right: Women have to work 14-and-a-half months to earn what men earned in the 12 months of 2021.
