“ Did you know that in 2014, women working full time in the United States typically were paid just 79 percent of what men were paid, a gap of 21 percent?” We should expect more, not less, from our daughters and granddaughters in the work arena. The gender pay gap is alive and well – but why?

She’s living aboard her forty-five foot boat in Mexico’s spectacular Sea of Cortez, taking work where she can get it and, characteristically, she isn’t all that concerned about any pesky legalities involved. His wife, eight-year-old daughter, and fifteen-year-old son remain separate, not cohering into a family.
