For any woman or any person for that matter who's ever struggled with life's injustices, I'd like to recommend Grace and Grit, the Lilly Ledbetter story written by Lanier Scott Isom.
Lilly Ledbetter is the ultimate heroine having persevered for 74 years. From picking cotton in grade school to dealing with harassment and unfair pay as one of very few female managers at Goodyear for 19 years, Lilly endured many hardships her whole life. But the lesson is she never, never, never gave up!
Thanks to Lilly, there is now the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. And now, there is Lilly's story in hardback and Kindle. Not only is it a page turner, but you'll be learning about a modern day American heroine and be inspired all the same. I highly recommend it. It just might change your life.
