My thanks to Hillary Rodham Clinton for the Lilly Ledbetter Pay Equity Act. And my thanks also go to New York State NOW for knowing what a feminist looks like and for giving credit to Hillary Rodham Clinton for her years of work for the passage of the Lilly Ledbetter Act.

From Madam Secretary:
Hillary Clinton was one of the initial co-sponsors of the Senate legislation (later blocked by Republicans) that sought to change this decision and, in one of her few official acts before being confirmed as Secretary of State, signed on as an original co-sponsor again this year. She appeared with Lilly Ledbetter to rally for the legislation, spoke about the act on the floor of the Senate, and proclaimed its importance during her speech at the Democratic National Convention.
"Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputation and social standing, never can bring about a reform. Those who are really in earnest must be willing to be anything or nothing in the world's estimation, and publicly and privately, in season and out, avow their sympathy with despised and persecuted ideas and their advocates, and bear the consequences."
