Peer Review

Hi there,

I really enjoyed your page. I thought you laid out your topic very well. I've seen a lot of research in regards to this topic that actually divvies up the 26 cent discrepancy between men and women. That is, between 5-8 cents remains unexplained (depending on which research you cite) - the remaining difference can be explained by industry, hours worked, etc. It might be worth it to break this down in your article.

Also, women as a group face a lower wage due to the prospect of becoming mothers, regardless of whether they have kids or not, essentially, the group average is brought down as some women exit the workforce to care for their children. There are a lot of variables that contribute to the gender-wage gap - you do a good job of addressing these things.

My only other suggestion is to consider adding a citation to your intersectionality section. Otherwise, great work!
