Jennifer Lawrence puts the gender pay gap on blast in killer op-ed
Lawrence may be a special case, and she knows it, but the ideas behind her op-ed are spot on. The issue isn’t just about money: It’s about an industry — a working world, even — that devalues and silences assertive women.

Amrita Sher-gil is considered one of the most important womenpainters of 20th Century India. Known for her paintings of women, as well asher many affairs with both men and women, she is sometimes known as ‘India’sFrida Kahlo.’
Born to a Punjabi Sikh aristocrat and a Hungarian Jewish opera singer, Sher-gil learned to paint at age eight. She studied in Florence and Paris, and was influenced by European painters of the time, like Cezanne and Gauguin.
After returning to India in 1936, she was inspired by the Bengal School of Art, and toured South India, where she found her calling- to paint the lives of Indian people, particularly villagers and women.
Just days before the opening of her first major solo show, Sher-gil became suddenly ill and died. She left behind a large body of work, which the Government of India has declared a National Treasure, and her legacy has influenced generations of Indian artists.
