So began her decade-long legal battle for equal pay, a story she tells movingly and frankly. After a hardscrabble childhood in a small Alabama community, she knew a job at the nearby Goodyear plant meant lifelong financial stability. In 1979 as a manager there, she found men reluctant to take orders from a woman, and faced blatant sexual harassment (a performance review ended with a solicitation). She tried to take it in stride, but the stress took a mental and physical toll. Goodyear continually transferred her between departments, citing poor performance, but failed to produce evidence when she requested it. After discovering the anonymous note, she filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission, leading to her landmark discrimination lawsuit under Title VII and the Equal Pay Act. While she lost the case on appeal (a decision upheld by the Supreme Court), the experience prompted her to become a spokesperson for equal pay. In January 2009, President Obama signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act, a satisfying coda to this inspiring tale. 600 10 $a Ledbetter, Lilly M. 610 20 $a Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company. 650 0 $a Sex discrimination against women $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Women $v Biography. 650 0 $a Sex discrimination against women $x Law and legislation. 700 1 $a Isom, Lanier Scott. 941 $a 14 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611014411.0 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214021905.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722034544.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204044405.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110030535.0 952 $l NLPA993 $d 20180623044401.0 952 $l HYAX325 $d 20180623024247.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826031827.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20160202064744.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20150404014624.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20140514021458.0 952 $l SGPD074 $d 20140118010607.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20120524010817.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20120515011728.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E7828134846411E18E1E30966AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
