Answer: Equal Pay Act

Explanation:

The Equal Pay Act was signed into law by President Kennedy in 1963 in response to a wage gap between men and women that had began to escalate out of control.

In 1960 it was estimated that women working the same jobs as men earned less than two-thirds of what their male counterparts earned and pressure from various organizations finally enabled the Act to pass through Congress.

While it is illegal to pay women less than men for similar jobs, the trend continued but has seen massive improvements as a result of the Act and will continue to.

One of the “don’ts” in analyzing or evaluating a primary source is to avoid recreating the
Elanso [62]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

One of the “don’ts” in analyzing or evaluating a primary source is to avoid recreating the author’s experience of his society.

No, I don't agree with this statement because I consider that in order to truly understand the primary source, a good researcher has to understand the circumstance and the time in which the primary source was created.

This means, if it was during a war or a revolutionary period, the researcher has to understand and think as the author of the source did.

ANd I am clear using my words: understand. Not biasing the records, the facts, or misinterpret the situation, the context, or the facts.
