As the Americas began to implement women into their public education, according to the Feminist Economics journal, the pay gap was shown to slowly decrease (Hill & King 2010). This can also be contradictory as women with an education, during this time, were also seen to be better caretakers who can help raise the upcoming generation.

Therefore, the feminist movement decreased the gender wage gap.
