Women's History Month: Grace and Grit

For years, Ledbetter worked for Goodyear Tire, tirelessly serving the company and moving up through the ranks to a management position. The discovery that her pay was significantly less than that of her male counterparts sent Ledbetter on an inspiring journey. In her fascinating memoir, Ledbetter details how she took the case all the way to the Supreme Court. While the ruling on her case prevented her from receiving the money she deserved, the Fair Pay Act in her name ensures that other women will not face the same disparity in pay in the future.
