Kansas women articulate unnecessary economic barriers in parental leave, pay gap, mentorship

by Sherman Smith, Kansas Reflector

Women in Kansas have more education than men but still only make 78 cents to the dollar that men make for the same work. Infant care in the state is 1.3 times more expensive than in-state college tuition. While more women vote than men, only 28% of legislative seats are held by women.
