Grace and Grit
Grace and Grit: My Fight for Equal Pay and Fairness at Goodyear and Beyond | Lilly M. Ledbetter, Lanier Scott Isom
1 post | 4 to read
In 1998, after the author had spent 19 years working in management at a Goodyear plant, an anonymous note showed her that she made 40 per cent less than her male counterparts. So began her decade-long, tumultuous legal battle for equal pay, which ended in January 2009 when President Obama signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act.

This book tells the story behind the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act. She endured so much in her personal and professional life and I was so teary eyed while reading the last chapter of this book! It also includes text of RBG‘s bench announcement and Obama‘s speech.
