'Washington -- U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand today plans to make what she calls a major policy speech in which she will unveil a five-point package aimed at helping middle-class women in the workplace.

Gillibrand, D-N.Y., will outline her plan for the economic security of women beginning at 10:30 a.m. at the Center for American Progress, a progressive think tank based in Washington, D.C., with strong ties to the White House. New York's junior senator has been outspoken in the past about equal pay for women.

The Center for American Progress issued a report this week titled, "The State of Women in America." The report noted that despite advances in the workplace, women are paid 77 cents for every dollar a man is paid.'
