Alexandre Duret-Lutz. "Bibliography". 12-11-06 via Flickr. CC A-SA 2.0.
Source #1: Library of Economics and Liberty
URL: http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/GenderGap.html
Citation:
Goldin, Claudia. "Gender Gap." : The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics. N.p., n.d. Web. 08 Aug. 2015.
Notes: I think this article is really helpful because it clearly outlines what the gender gap is and why it is relevant, in economic terms without a heavy social bias. Additionally, the article was written by the Henry Lee Professor of Economics at Harvard, which means she is very credible and one of the best in the world at understanding and interpreting this issue. One thing I would use from this article include her graph demonstrating the ratio of women's pay to men's pay increasing steadily but never even reaching 1:1.

Source #2: AAUW: The Simple Truth
URL: http://www.aauw.org/research/the-simple-truth-about-the-gender-pay-gap/
Citation:
Hill, Catherine, Ph.D. "The Simple Truth about the Gender Pay Gap (Spring 2015)." AAUW: Empowering Women Since 1881. American Association of University Women, n.d. Web. 08 Aug. 2015.
Notes: This article is a great resource because it provides references to a number of other important texts. I think one of the biggest focuses of this article is intersectionality, which is huge to recognize because a lot of times we only look at an issue from one angle and we forget that sometimes people have more than one identity that puts them at an advantage or a disadvantage.

Source #3: Girls Education
URL:http://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2015/jul/02/girls-education-will-only-make-the-grade-when-intuition-gives-way-to-information
Citation:
Julia Bunting. "Girls' Education Will Only Make the Grade When Intuition Gives Way to Information." The Guardian. N.p., 7 July 2015. Web. 3 Aug. 2015.
Notes: This focuses on education, which is an important topic to touch on because education is a huge indicator of success/ability and if girls aren't receiving the same education as men then they simply won't be prepared to be competitive later in life.

Source #4: Pay Gap is because of Gender, Not Jobs
URL:http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/24/upshot/the-pay-gap-is-because-of-gender-not-jobs.html?_r=0&abt=0002&abg=0
Citation:
Miller, Claire Cain. "Pay Gap Is Because of Gender, Not Jobs." The New York Times. The New York Times, 23 Apr. 2014. Web. 08 Aug. 2015.
Notes: Some people that don't believe that the gender gap is real argue that women gravitate towards lower paying jobs and that is why they make less money, however this article handles that objection very well with rhetoric and evidence.

Source #5: Gender Equality: Why Women Are Still Held Back
URL: http://www.theguardian.com/business/economics-blog/2013/dec/06/gender-equality-women-stereotypes-stop-progress
Citation:
Player, Abigail. "Gender Equality: Why Women Are Still Held Back." The Guardian. The Guardian, 6 Dec. 2013. Web. 5 Aug. 2015.
Notes: This article is really helpful because it actually provides reasons for why we should be fighting the gender gap instead of simply analyzing how it got started and how it's progressed over the years.

Source #6: Fact Sheet: The Women's Leadership Gap
URL: https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/women/report/2014/03/07/85457/fact-sheet-the-womens-leadership-gap/
Citation:
Warner, Judith. "Fact Sheet: The Women's Leadership Gap." Center For American Progress. Center For American Progress, 7 Mar. 2014. Web. 6 Aug. 2015.
Notes: This seems to be a great resource because it provides a list of statistics that I can reference. I'll definitely want to include this in my piece because they provide a pretty good representation of what  the issues are and why they're important.
