The latest in the gender pay gap in the US: “Women have to have a PhD to make as much as a man with a BA.” The recent report from Georgetown called “The College Payoff: Education, Occupations, Lifetime Earnings” presents findings that
- Women earn less at all degree levels. Compared to men, women who work full-time, year-round jobs earn roughly 25% less at equivalent levels of educational attainment. If we were to calculate in women who had to leave work to raise children or as the result of a disability into this comparison, the difference is even larger. By that expanded definition, women without high school degrees earn a ridiculous 90% less than their male counterparts. Those with BAs earn about 45% less.
- Let me just repeat that women have to get a PhD to earn the same as a man with a BA.
- Persons of color earn less at all degree levels. In fact, African Americans and Latinos who hold Masters degrees still earn less than Caucasians with BAs.
- Going to college makes a huge difference in income. On average, BAs make 84% more that those with just high school diplomas over their lifetime. There is even a stark difference among levels of educational attainment within the same occupation.
- No matter what post-secondary education you receive, you’re at a sizeable lifetime financial advantage.

- Only 8 percent of the work that the Museum of Modern Art exhibits is by women.
- Only about 23 percent of solo gallery shows at top New York sites feature pieces by female artists.
- Women are consistently only 15% of the names on Artforum‘s, Art + Auction‘s, and ArtReview‘s annual “power lists.”
A contemporary woman artist still needs a room of one’s own and, as Woolf also urged, financial security, in order to make great art, but she also needs “an ego of one’s own,” and “a network of one’s own.” If her art is to get out into the world — written about, represented by galleries, and anointed by museums and art collectors as worthy — she has to be able to talk her work up, have somebody powerful willing to listen when she does, and not face gender stereotypes that she is transgressing social norms by doing so.
