Description
Full of candid insights and sobering reflections, this anthology was authored by 22 women with experience in large and small law firms, government and public interest offices, the federal bench, law school faculties, litigation consulting, personnel placement, and legal publishing (the complete contributors list is set out on the back cover). It also includes a chapter by a male attorney whose chauvinist past is recounted with painful honesty, and a preface written by the Chair of the ABA Litigation Section. Taken together, their stories provide an incisive look at the varieties of sexist discrimination America's female lawyers have had to contend with in their professional lives.
