What The Reviewers Say

Kate Tuttle,
The Boston Globe
... urgent, engaging.
Carol Haggas,
Booklist
Whip-smart and wickedly acerbic, Lithwick shines a reassuring light on the essential interconnectivity between women and the law and champions the vital role women lawyers must continue to play if American democracy is to persevere..

Kirkus
Between starry-eyed opening and grim conclusion, [Lithwick] profiles women lawyers whose stories provide a contextualizing capsule tour of the era and offer some bracing hope.

Publishers Weekly
... incisive if uneven.
