Lilly Ledbetter is meeting later this month with filmmaker Rachel Feldman, who just bought the rights to the activist’s autobiography to turn into a biopic.
Ledbetter — the woman President Barack Obama’s 2009 fair-pay law is named after — inked the deal with Feldman at the end of last month, Feldman told POLITICO. Ledbetter worked as a manager at a Goodyear tire plant in Alabama in the 1980s and ’90s, when the highest-paid male manager earned more than $18,000 annually more than her.
