demonstrate the rhetorical strategy of exemplification (the use of examples to prove a point) and focus on myths of class and gender. These readings are:
“Serving in Florida” by Barbara Ehrenreich

In an essay of approximately 1000 words, please write a research paper on:
The gender pay gap: What is it? How does it impact families? Is it real or a myth? How can it be overcome?
To support your argument, please use at least four separate sources. They should include a mix of sources from one of the texts listed above, quality popular and academic (scholarly) sources. If you also want to use a case of personal experience as an example, that would be wonderful, but you should also have outside sources that you find through research. This is an argumentative essay that should have a thesis statement that expresses your opinion on the issue.
