The gender pay gap is alive and well – but why? I think it would.

For 20 or so years I’ve been homeschooling my kids, and am now down to about 1 1/2 (one full-time homeschooler, and one doing College Credit Plus with some support). My hobbies range from reading to painting, pen-and-ink drawing, cooking/baking, and writing. an illustration I did for one of my son’s books.
