This morning Jeanne Gang of [Studio Gang](http://studiogang.com/) published an [op-ed in Fast Company](https://www.fastcodesign.com/90178160/architectures-great-injustice-according-to-jeanne-gang) detailing how her architecture and urban design practice closed the gender wage gap. 

It is also a call to action and an example of something the firm calls “actionable idealism.” Here is an excerpt from the article:

> _What we discovered was that, despite our ideological commitment to equality (and though our numbers were significantly better than all the U.K. architecture firms reporting, in all categories), a small pay gap nevertheless existed between the women and men in my office. We fixed that with this year’s raises and now have no wage gap as an organization._
