the first attempt at equal pay legislation in the united states, h.r. 5056, "prohibiting discrimination in pay on account of sex," was introduced by congresswoman winifred c. stanley of buffalo, n.y. on june 19, 1944. twenty years later, legislation passed by the federal government in 1963 made it illegal to pay men and women different wage rates for equal work on jobs that require equal skill, effort, and responsibility, and are performed under similar working conditions. one year after passing the equal pay act, congress passed the 1964 civil rights act. title vii of this act makes it unlawful to discriminate based on a person's race, religion, color, or sex. title vii attacks sex discrimination more broadly than the equal pay act extending not only to wages but to compensation, terms, conditions or privileges of employment. thus with the equal pay act and title vii, an employer cannot deny women equal pay for equal work; deny women transfers, promotions, or wage increases; manipulate job evaluations to relegate women's pay; or intentionally segregate men and women into jobs according to their gender.
