A Quote by Carolyn Maloney

My idea is that we've worked so many years for equality, but the only area where we've achieved equality, with men, is in job loss. We are still 77 cents to the dollar.

In 1973, women got 59 cents on the dollar; now we are getting 74 cents on the dollar. In the area of finance and business, we are at 68 cents on the dollar.

Billie Jean King

Women get 77 cents on the dollar that men get for the same job.

Penny Pritzker

Because women still earn just 77 cents for every dollar men make. Those pennies add up to real money.

Lilly Ledbetter

We have Latinas in California making 55 cents on the dollar. Black women making 63 cents on the dollar. White women making 78 cents on the dollar. It doesn't change very much year by year, it might go up or down a penny, but oftentimes, the years that it goes up are the same years that men are making a little bit more. It's pretty much always in proportion.

Patricia Arquette

Fifty-nine cents. For years, I wore a button - '59 cents.' Many of my colleagues wore it also. The purpose was so that people would come up and ask, 'What does '59 cents' mean?' One could then launch into a discussion about how women working full time in the U.S. earn 59 cents for every dollar earned by men.

Karen DeCrow

We know that the only way to achieve equality is if both men and women want to achieve equality. We also know that equality is not just the right thing to do for men, it is a good thing to do.

Sheryl Sandberg

How is it even sustainable in 21st-century America that women earn, on average, 77 cents for every dollar earned by men?

Naomi Wolf

How is it even sustainable in 21st-century America, that women earn, on average, 77 cents for every dollar earned by men?

Naomi Wolf

The 77 cents that women make for every dollar men earn makes a real difference to our families - families stretching to make every dollar count.

Barbara Mikulski

Whenever women have insisted on absolute equality with men, they have invariably wound up with the dirty end of the stick. What they are and what they can do makes them superior to men, and their proper tactic is to demand special privileges, all the traffic will bear. They should never settle merely for equality. For women, "equality" is a disaster.

Robert A. Heinlein

One thing that is clearly not maximized by free markets is equality. I am talking not about that pale substitute for equality known as equality of opportunity but about equality itself.

Steven Weinberg

[W]e must first experience the kingdom if we are even to know what kind of freedom and what kind of equality we should desire. Christian freedom lies in service, Christian equality is equality before God, and neither can be achieved through the coercive efforts of liberal idealists who would transform the world into their image.

Stanley Hauerwas

It is not possible that it is God's will that women are making 77 cents on a dollar.

Tom Perez

Feminism is nothing but equality, and actually, feminism benefits men because it liberates us and it releases us from many stigmas imposed by the macho culture on us as well. So if more of us could understand that it's nothing but equality, I think many agendas in terms of equality would have advanced quicker because it really helps us as well.

Edgar Ramirez

When I speak of The Case for Equality I mean human equality; and that, of course, can only mean one thing: it means equality of income.

George Bernard Shaw

Idea is a noble one — an idea that fills and expands all generous souls; the idea of equality — the equality of all men before human tribunals and human laws, as they all are equal before the Divine tribunal and Divine laws.

William H. Seward
