The U.S. women’s soccer team is being honored as a group as part of USA TODAY’s Women of the Year program, a recognition of women who have made a significant impact in their communities and across the country. The program launched in 2022 as a continuation of Women of the Century, which commemorated the 100th anniversary of women gaining the right to vote.
For decades, as generations of women made major gains in the fight for equity and equality, one glaring disparity has remained: their paychecks. As women break glass ceilings in various industries – being elected vice president of the United States, helping create lifesaving vaccines, winning more World Cup races than any Alpine skier in history – pay for their accomplishments often don't equal that of their male counterparts. This year, women must work until March 14 to earn what men earned in 2022. This date is recognized as Equal Pay Day.
