Karen, 

If what you describe is true, you should ask your personnel
office (NOT your supervisor) to explain why the salary discrepancy
exists.  If the two of you had similar qualifications and experience
and were doing the same job, in the same grade, the salary should be
the same.

On the face of it, it sounds unfair and possible discriminatory.

Please tell us what you find out, and if you don't like the answer
they give, keep asking.
