The silence of the lambs: a feminist's story of pay inequity

This study explores the narratives of 12 women's experience of pay inequity so that we might gain access deep inside the workings of this phenomenon and uncover the mechanisms that allow for its continued existence in contemporary workplaces. These stories have been shared by women from diverse industry sectors, at varying career-levels, providing us with new and unique perspectives on how inequity reveals itself within today's gendered workplaces, and what happens when women expose the sexism that lies beneath. Both thematic and narrative analysis techniques have been embedded into a social constructionist epistemology provide the cornerstone of this research approach.
