Lilly Ledbetter never set out to be a trailblazer or a household name. She just wanted to be paid the same as a man for her hard work.
Ledbetter's discovery that she was earning less than her male counterparts for doing the same job led her to file a lawsuit that changed legislation.
The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act enabled workers to sue within 180 days of receiving any discriminatory paycheck, empowering employees against wage discrimination.
Ledbetter continued to campaign for equal pay for decades, making a significant impact on the fight for wage equality in America.
