"It's been hard, really hard," she said of the past four years in her legal fight to get her job back as a legislative editor at the Georgial General Assembly.

While grateful to be back at work and happy with the ruling, Glenn acknowledges her historic victory did not come without a heavy cost.
Glenn said she spent her entire savings, a small inheritance she received when her grandfather died in 2007, the 401(k) she had from a previous job and has two mortgages on her house.
"This process has cost me a lot financially. I am not made whole by the court's decision even though I got my job back," she said.
