3. She backs her Dissents
Her dissent of the Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, decided in 2007 in favor of Goodyear was not forgotten. After Lilly Ledbetter sued Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company for gender discrimination due to discovering that she was paid less than her male counterparts. Ginsburg than translated the lengthy court document putting pressure on the gender wage gap .
She said, “each and every pay decision Ledbetter did not properly challenge wiped the slate clean. Never mind the cumulative effect of a series of decisions that together set her pay well below that of every male area manager.”
She got the clause amended that lost Ledbetter the case (because Ledbetter did not report any blatant gender discriminations within 180 days of those infractions) through Congress and to boot President Obama signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, the first bill he signed, in 2009, according to Teen Vogue.
