Even Superstars Aren’t Safe from the Gender Pay Gap: An Open Letter to Jennifer Lawrence

When Jennifer Lawrence wrote about her experience with the gender pay gap earlier this week, she added that she wasn’t “exactly relatable.” Sure, she has an Oscar and a few other awards under her belt. But when it comes to the gender pay gap, her problems are all too relatable.

Here’s what Jennifer totally nailed when it comes to women, salary negotiation, and fair pay.

• Workplace gender stereotypes play into why women don’t negotiate as often as men. 
  
• It’s important that women feel empowered to negotiate for equal pay, but the real onus is on employers and policy makers.
  
• Bottom line: Every woman deserves equal pay.
