Closing the Gap: Pay Equity & Negotiation Resources for Women
In the United States, Equal Pay Day is typically observed on a Tuesday in April, marking how far into the year women must work to match the earnings that men made in the previous year. In 2025, Equal Pay Day is April 8.
Negotiation is one of the most powerful tools women can use to bridge the gender pay gap. Despite progress, women still earn less than men on average, and one key factor is that they are less likely to negotiate their salaries.
This is an incredibly important topic for both men and women, but especially for women because women do not like to negotiate on behalf of themselves. They will negotiate for just about anybody in their life, especially their kids, just not themselves.
Here’s a roundup of some negotiating resources you can use – articles, videos, and podcasts – all in one convenient location. Time strapped? Options range from less than 5 minutes to 30 minutes – something to fit everyone’s schedule.
