The focus throughout the speech lies on inequality and primarily on unequal pay despite the same sacrifices being made.

Wambach mentions that she one night came to realize that she sadly wasn’t in a unique position since “U.S. women overall still earn only 80 cents on the dollar compared to men” and it’s even worse for black women and Latinas.
