Lilly Ledbetter – Honor a Woman Who Dared
Lilly Ledbetter, a manager at the Goodyear Tire and Rubber plant in Gadsden, Alabama, took her quest for equal pay all the way to the Supreme Court. When the Court decided against her — changing the way that equal pay cases are handled for everyone — Lilly Ledbetter courageously fought with the help of NCJW and others to pass a law that undid that decision. NCJW was proud to stand with her as President Obama signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act eight days after his inauguration. At Washington Institute 2010 NCJW will honor Ms. Ledbetter with its Woman Who Dared Award. Be there to hear her inspiring story and applaud her actions!
