Excerpt from Equal Pay for Equal Work: The Story of the Struggle for Justice Being Made by the Women Teachers of the City of New York Notice the words, a person. Here is no differentia tion between male persons and female persons. Yet the City of New York pays a male person for certain professional services $900, while paying a fe male person only $600 for the same professional serv ices. Stranger still, it pays for certain experience of a male person $105, while paying a female person only $40 for the identical experience. These are but sam ples of the glaring inequalities in the teachers' salary schedules. Why is the male in the teaching profession differentiated from the male in every other calling, when his salary is concerned? Why does the city differentiate the woman it hires to teach its children from the woman it hires to take steno graphic notes, use a typewriter, follow up truants, inspect a tenement, or issue a license?
