the pink price - the tax of being a woman (opens the original)
Read excerpt
as women, we like to believe that we navigate the world as free agents, our choices governed solely by personal desire and individual will. yet, there is a hidden ledger that most of us never see, a quiet, compounding interest rate that shapes the reality of half the population from the moment they wake up. we often talk about the price of things, the cost of a meal, a taxi, or a box of supplies, but we rarely examine the tax of existence itself. it is a subtle, invisible levy, one paid not in c
