MY CAR TO A CAR MECHANIC AND HAVING HIM
DEDUCT IQ POINTS BECAUSE I HAVE OVARIES."

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL THAT THEY DO.
THE GROUP IS TRYING TO FIGHT THE WAGE

ALTERNATIVE APPROACH B Y CREATING A
WOMEN'S SUPPORT COMMUNITY.
UNIVERSITY OF MONTANA STUDENT... SARAH
BEALS... IS A NEWCOMER TO WOMEN FOR THE

COMMUNITY TO ENCOURAGE WOMEN TO ASK
FOR MORE MONEY IN THEIR JOBS TO CLOSE THE
