If you read about Lily, you see that she was 1) far above child bearing age for this to be an issue, 2) worked in a Goodyear factory, 3) worked with 9 men and the lowest paid of the men made 15% more than her 4) she was hired in 10 years prior at the same rate as the men and did not receive raises at the same rate

She didn't take a maternity leave, she didn't have less experience. She did the same job as the men and should have received the same pay. That's what I see equal pay for equal work to be about.
