Quote of the Day: Lilly Ledbetter

“We sought justice because equal pay for equal work is an American value. That fight took me ten years. It took me all the way to the Supreme Court. And, in a 5-4 decision, they stood on the side of those who shortchanged my pay, my overtime, and my retirement just because I am a woman.” Lilly Ledbetter, who also said “Because women still earn just 77 cents for every dollar men make. Those pennies add up to real money.”
