Equal Pay Day is April 17. This date symbolizes how far into 2012 women must work to earn what men earned in 2011. Lanier Scott Isom is co-author, with Lilly Ledbetter, of "Grace and Grit: My Fight for Equal Pay and Fairness at Goodyear and Beyond," the inspiring story of Ledbetter's fight against employment discrimination and how she became the namesake of Barack Obama's first piece of legislation as president, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act.
