    AAUW honors the recent passing of Lilly Ledbetter and her outstanding legacy, which will impact women well into the future. She was the pioneer of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 to ensure all women receive fair pay for their work.   Ms. Ledbetter and AAUW had a long-lasting, strong, and productive relationship, and we held her in high esteem as an unwavering icon and trailblazer in the fight for equal pay. In her memory and in her honor, AAUW vows to continue the fight. Read our full statement here: https://lnkd.in/eM6aca84   #LillyLedbetter #EqualPay #GenderPayGap
