Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence has written a very powerful (and attention getting) Op Ed regarding Gender Pay Equality and it’s lack thereof in Hollywood. Visit LennyLetter.com for the entire essay, but to summarize:

“It’s hard for me to speak about my experience as a working woman because I can safely say my problems aren’t exactly relatable. When the Sony hack happened and I found out how much less I was being paid than than the lucky people with d***s, I didn’t get mad at Sony. I got mad at myself. I failed as a negotiator because I gave up early. “

…

“A few weeks ago at work, I spoke my mind and gave my opinion in a clear and no-B.S. way; no aggression, just blunt. The man I was working with (actually, he was working for me) said, ‘Whoa! We’re all on the same team here!’ As if I was yelling at him. I was so shocked because nothing that I said was personal, offensive, or, to be honest, wrong. All I hear and see all day are men speaking their opinions, and I give mine in the same exact manner, and you would have thought I had said something offensive.”

Are YOU being paid fairly?
