All hail Rep. Edith Green! She may be a tad bit disappointed today, however. Nevertheless, she persisted.

On this day in 1963, the Equal Pay Act became law, prohibiting sex discrimination in wages for the same job in the same workplace. Rep. Edith Green (D-OR) introduced the bill in 1955 and fought for 8 years to make it law. Her male colleagues called her the “Wicked Witch of the West.” #WeTheMen
