Lilly Ledbetter Bill

Pretty much this whole article is about a paycheck that has been way over due. Ms. Lilly Ledbetter now at the age of 70 has finally gotten her closure by president Obama about her salary when she worked alongside with men. Ms. Ledbetter was one of the many thousands or millions of women that was mistreated by companies that favored men when it comes to salary raise. Even thought they work for the same position Ms. Ledbetter had a much lower salary. Now, she has finally won that battle. She reported to the New York Times saying "I'm so excited I can hardly stand it,"

I think that this is slowly making a huge difference too many women across America. Even though back then Ms. Ledbetter files her case and eventually went to the Supreme Court and lost. Today in this article she had proven that things can always change and that this article will impact the future paycheck of women working in America.
