Anniston Star - Gender equity

President Obama hugged Lilly Ledbetter before signing the Lilly Ledbetter Bill, Jan. 29, 2009, in the East Room of the White House in Washington.

In her autobiography, Grace and Grit: My Fight for Equal Pay and Fairness at Goodyear and Beyond, she writes honestly and simply like a true Southern storyteller.

Is there gender equity now, or is the fight continuing?

In revealing personal trials in her autobiography, Ledbetter’s Grace and Grit documents the case for gender equity that’s ongoing.
