The salary is a negotiation with the HR director.

Before I respond to your inquiry, I must state that we have not spoken, I have not reviewed the relevant documents and facts, and I do not represent you. Therefore, my discussion below is not a legal opinion, but is informational only. Finally, my discussion applies only to issues to which Pennsylvania, New Jersey or Federal law applies, unless otherwise specified.

That being said, you may be able to sue if you are being treated differently than other employees/applicants due to your race, gender, age, disability, religion, etc. - but the facts in your question don't support a claim. Merely being the only woman potentially in a male-dominated employer in a male-dominated industry is not enough. However, that situation may very well lead to facts that support your claim. This is something you'd need to discuss in detail with an employment attorney to determine whether or how to move forward with a claim.
