(Jacquelyn Martin/AP)American women aren’t waiting around until this fall’s elections to make their voices heard. Consider some of the main events of just this past week:• In West Virginia, teachers stayed off the job for more than a week and won a five-percent raise. • Indeed, their success is inspiring teachers in both Oklahoma — where the schools are so underfunded, teachers are among the worst-paid in the United States — and in Kentucky. • In Tuesday’s primaries in Texas, women won big. In the United States, they earn on average less than half as much as people working in other similarly-credentialed professions.
