(10,021 posts)8. True. But I bet there's a lot of women out there who weren't aware of Ms. Ledbetter and her fight
and hopefully they are saying "hey, that's happening to me" and do something about it. Lily opened the door, now women have to vow to go through that door.

resonate for a long time.

Who doesn't love that a law was changed by a living person
and that woman is on our side of the aisle.
Can Republicans really claim too many laws that actually help
people and rectify equal justice?
What woman would vote Republican these days unless she
was told to?
