An Equal Pay App

Read more about it here.

Read more about the Equal Pay Act of 1963 here. And here.

Read more about the 2009 Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act here.

In what ways does this campaign to create a Fair Pay App merge the missions of second and third wave feminist movements? What could this app do to ensure equal pay? What would you include? How might you develop and equal pay app? Is an app all will really need to ensure equal pay? What might the app not be able to do?
