Domestic slave trade One of the ways in which the domestic slave trade affected black life is by changing the social, economic value of women’s labor. Women and girls started performing the same tasks as men- working in the plantations as slaves. According to Diana Ramey Berry, enslaved women and girls worked in the fields, performing the same physical labor as their male counterparts. Although women and girls still performed other feminine occupations like cooking, cleaning, sewing, and weaving, they started working in traditionally male jobs, especially in the fields. Therefore women’s gender roles changed from cooking and cleaning to performing manual tasks in the cotton plantations. They became agricultural laborers like their male counterparts. Secondly, the domestic slave trade brought about a lot of misery to black life. According to (Deyle, 2005), the domestic slave trade brought about immense human suffering as the slaves were transported from the Upper south Deep South to work in the plantations. Deyle (2005) argues that these Africans were subjected to harsh working conditions like long working hours. The trade also brought misery by…

Gender Pay Gap Women make up almost fifty percent of the workforce in the United States. However, they continue to earn less than their male counterparts. The gap persists even among women that do the same jobs as men. According to National Partnership for Women & Families, the median pay per year in the United States for a woman who has a full-time job is $45,097 while that of a man who holds a full-time job is $55,291. In general, this implies that women in the United States earn only 82 cents for every dollar earned by men. This translates to an annual gender pay gap of $10,194. This pervasive and persistent pay gap is partly driven by racial and gender discrimination, job segregation, inadequate workplace policies to support family caregiving, which is still primarily performed by women, and workplace harassment. These cultural and social norms and unconscious bias continue to drive the gender pay gap, which results in notably lost wages that add up over the lifetime of women. This leads to consistent gender inequality, which impedes economic growth…
