Lilly Ledbetter fought for a simple principle: equal pay for equal work. After discovering she was paid less than her male colleagues for doing the same work, she became an advocate for fair wages. Her courage and dedication resulted in the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act—the very first bill I signed into law as President. While the fight for equal pay continues, Lilly’s life serves as a reminder that progress is possible when we make it happen. | Barack Obama

NBC News said Lilly Ledbetter, who is best known for advocating for equal pay for women, died on Saturday night at the age of 86. In the 1990s, Ledbetter worked at Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. in Alabama as an area supervisor. She received an anonymous letter that said she was being paid far less than her male colleagues who were in similar levels as her. Ledbetter took legal action and her cases went all the way to the Supreme Court, but she didn’t win her case due to a missed deadline. Democrats
