### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a toxic workplace will do to you
*by F***R on March 26, 2012*

This is a well-written, gripping memoir (until you get to the yawn-inducing legal stuff at the end ;-}) of an earnest American woman's life & times: from her childhood to her yearned-for high school sweetheart marriage & adjustments + kids + that crazy isolated too young & not enough money motherhood, on into the '70s when she tries her hand at tax preparation & with her affinity for numbers rapidly rises to office manager & then area manager.Still, the Goodyear plant in Gadsden, Alabama was THE place most everyone in that area wanted to work at cuz it meant a better, steadier way of life (a myth cuz layoff rumors were frequent & used to keep workers 'in line') even if the process of making tires was a major hazard to workers' health no matter their gender which was, of course, 100% male. However, those males' attitude toward this uppity blonde (who was no ditz... she'd just had no brothers to contend with!) for taking one of their jobs & then expecting to supervise 'em... well... that just wasn't right, so... almost to a man they turned that plant into a gender hostile workplace.I lost count of all the ways those workers, especially her immediate superiors, made her their hazing, sexual prey upon whom they acted out (with impunity, mind you!) their own perceived fears & frustrations with management, women/wives in general, & orders from higher up.It took all of Lilly Ledbetter's career there, much of her marriage & most of her health to survive the obstacle course they put her through, even as other supervisors were handing her awards. It all culminated when a worker ahead of her let a piece of machinery close behind him, trapping her beneath it, unable to release herself until he chose. At that point, the brilliant idea occurred to our intrepid heroine that she really didn't have to put up with this stuff!What finally made her angry, however, was a handwritten note left where she'd find it on which were enumerated her salary along with those of her co-supervisors - the same ones who'd been hired on with her, all those years ago. That's what got her to a lawyer & an alphabet soup of regulatory commissions, then on to a jury trial & a positive verdict which Goodyear got dismissed. Then on to the Supreme Court, eventually standing beside President Obama in 2009 as he signed into law THE LILLY LEDBETTER FAIR PAY RESTORATION ACT.As a secretary, I quit working in such toxic workplaces after a few years, yet I totally got why one of Goodyear's rare women workers, Sharon, quit floor supervising to go back to being a 'mere' secretary: "... I didn't complain, because I was a single mother with a handicapped child, and I knew my job would be in jeopardy if I started..." p.187.I kept wondering, all the way through, how would these same men have reacted were other men in other workplaces to do to their wives, as they themselves were doing to Lilly, & if anything's changed now?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book opened my eyes to a woman of strength, integrity, and as the title states, grace.
*by D***Y on October 4, 2022*

I started reading this book to understand the movie that is being filmed based on her story. I am grateful that Lily will receive the recognition of her accomplishments in life, from living in poverty to having a bill signed by Barack Obama, using her name for women's rights. It is a testimony of what one person can achieve.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing to know this happens even today.
*by M***. on December 26, 2012*

As a woman, I have experienced the occasional sexual discrimination, but it's a walk in the park compared to what Lilly Ledbetter endured. Most people would have left their company after years of tormenting. It's no wonder Lilly was only a small handful of female managers in her area, even in the late 90s.The prose is fairly easy to follow and to-the-point. My only complaint is that Lilly sometimes comes off as a little whiny. However, when she starts feeling sorry for herself, she does tend to balance it out such as when she feels overwhelmed with her mother's behavior, but then feels guilty about it.I think this is a good read for anyone who thinks everyone's got a fair shake these days. You'll be surprised.
