This week, California is making progress on one of the most intransigent issues facing women: paycheck fairness, which has barely budged in a decade. On Tuesday, Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown will sign an update to the state’s Fair Pay Act—and the new version is being lauded as the toughest in the country on the forces that keep women at a disadvantage. That’s not the only pro–pay equity measure sitting on Brown’s desk. Last month, the California Legislature sent him a bill that would tackle the issue in a way that no other state has ever attempted; he has until Sunday to sign or veto it and has yet to indicate what he’ll do.
