<div>There is a pay gap between many different groups including women and people of colour. The pay gap has been shrinking but is still a significant disparity. Often women find it much harder to get promotions and raises than their male counterparts. Aggression in the workplace and elsewhere is frowned upon in women which makes it harder to get higher level jobs. Women of colour have these troubles doubled.<ref>https://www.payscale.com/data/gender-pay-gap</ref></div>Zlatanhttps://feministwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Andrea_Dworkin&diff=416Andrea Dworkin2019-05-06T02:54:50Z<p>Zlatan: Created page with "Andrea Dworkin was a radical feminist and author.

=== Biography ===<br />
Dworkin was born September 26 1946, in New Jersey. She was often cared for by relatives because of her mothers heart issues. Her father was a socialist. Dworkin went to Bennington College. She protested the Vietnam war and was arrested and given a traumatic body cavity search at a prison. She told newspapers about the abuse and the prison was closed, but her parents disowned her. <br />
<br />
After this she moved to Greece and became a prostitute. After a year in Greece she went back to college and got her bachelors degree in 1968. She moved overseas and married a dutch man who began abusing her. She tried to get help but no one would assist her. She ran away from her husband until a friend helped her come back to the united states. Once back, she divorced her husband. Dworkin released her first book, ''Woman Hating'', at the age of 27.

<br />
=== Activism === <br />
Dworkin wrote many books with radical feminist theory that's still talked about today. Many of her books were published by U.K. publishing houses because American companies found her to be too radical. <br />
<br />
Linda Marchiano(Lovelace) tried to sue the people in charge of her films because she suffered from being coerced into porn. Dworkin asked MacKinnon to help Marchiano but there were no standing laws to support her case. An ordinance was drafted to allow people to sue the producers of porn, which was supported by radical feminists and conservatives but other feminist groups argued it blocked women's right to explore their sexuality. A couple cities adopted it but the U.S. Supreme court deemed it unconstitutional.</div>Zlatanhttps://feministwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Anna_Julia_Cooper&diff=378Anna Julia Cooper2019-05-04T01:24:09Z<p>Zlatan: Created page with "Anna Julia Cooper was born in North Carolina to Hannah Stanley Haywood and the white man who owned her.<ref>http://cooperproject.org/about-anna-julia-cooper/</ref> She was bor..."</p>
