    “People don't realize what it used to be like for women.

    "In the 1970s, high school boys were getting paid more than me. I was told it was because they would eventually have a family to support, even though I had six kids at home already.

    "Thanks to President Obama, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act was signed, women's health care is protected, and women can be assured that we have a President who knows empowering women to reach their full potential is crucial to our country's future.”

    —Wilda, Florida
