Prof. Jill Hasday Quoted in Law360° on Lilly Ledbetter and the Gender Pay Gap

Professor Jill Hasday was quoted in a story on Lilly Ledbetter, who championed equal pay. The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act clarified that pay bias victims face discrimination with each unfair paycheck. But Ledbetter didn't stop there — she spent the rest of her life trying to build on that law with more equal pay protections. Vagins called her "indefatigable."

Hasday, the Centennial Professor in Law and Distinguished McKnight University Professor at Minnesota Law, described Ledbetter as an ordinary working woman who became a champion for all working women.
