About Lilly Ledbetter

Lilly Ledbetter had worked for nearly 20 years at the Goodyear Tire plant in Gadsden,
AL, when she discovered, through an anonymous note left in her mailbox, that her
 pay all those years was significantly less than that of male counterparts who were
doing the same work. In 1998, she brought suit against Goodyear for unfair labor
 and wage practices and won $3 million in damages. However, Goodyear appealed to
 the Supreme Court, which reversed the decision because she hadn't brought suit 
within six months of when the discrimination started. On Jan 29th, 2009, President
Obama signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act with Lilly by his side to enact this
vital legislation. Now, at 70, Lilly is a mother and grandmother in Jacksonville,
Alabama, where she lives paycheck to paycheck with no expectation of seeing restitution
from Goodyear. She continues to fight for pay equity protection for others.
